摘要
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. Language is essentially a communication code consisting of symbols organized into a system, through which meaning is expressed. It is now generally agreed that semantics, a term used to refer to the study of meaning in language, is a component or level of a linguistic model in which semantics is at one "end" and phonetics at the other, with-grahamar somewhere in the middle (Palmer 1981:5). Some linguists have divided the study of meaning into three main parts: semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics. "Because of difficulties of terminology and definition, it is hard to pin down
This paper chiefly deals with four aspects of semantic studies: sense and reference, hyponymy, changes of meaning, and context, with an attempt to probe into translation from a semantic point of view, and to prove that some semantic theories and studies are applicable, and can be of help, to the understanding, explaining and solution of some of the problems in translation.
