semantic analysis
Interpreting linguistic significance
Semantic analysis is the study of meaning in language, examining how words, phrases, and sentences convey information.
In linguistics, it focuses on how context, word relationships, and speaker intent shape interpretation.
In computing and natural language processing, semantic analysis refers to algorithms that extract meaning from text, enabling applications like search engines, chatbots, and sentiment detection.
The software uses semantic analysis to understand customer complaints.
