Prompt

What is the significance of semantics versus pragmatics? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
91 chars

Generation

Semantics deals with the literal meaning of words and sentences (what is said), while pragmatics concerns meaning in context, including speaker intentions and implications (what is meant). The distinction is significant because the same sentence can have different pragmatic meanings depending on context, even though its semantic meaning remains constant. Understanding both is essential for grasping how language actually communicates information beyond literal definitions.
