Semantics is a fertile linguistic knowledge

Abstract

Anyone who traces the origins of linguistics will find that their methods, terminology,
and subjects have been perfected in the modern era. However, this does not negate the
fact that the ancients had delved into most of these sciences or established their first
edifice centuries ago. Semantics was not immune to this, as we find it to be an ancient,
modern science; modern in its independence from other sciences in subject and method;
ancient in that semantics existed wherever language existed, as it is a level among its
levels; if not the ultimate goal of the other levels of phonetics, morphology, and syntax.
The ancients in all major human civilizations (Indians, Arabs, Greeks, etc.) studied them
as part of a whole and made them the ultimate goal of linguistic study and its highest
purpose. Therefore, modern semantics, at its inception, was not a product of the modern
era; rather, interest in semantics has existed since humans began to care about language.
From this standpoint, our research paper comes to answer a set of problems that have
occurred to us, perhaps the most prominent of which are: What is semantics? What are
its most important concepts? What were the circumstances of the emergence of this
science, and what is its subject? What is cognitive linguistics? What is cognitive
semantics
