Why do we learn semantics?
By learning semantic we can get so many benefits. Because it is one of linguistic study to get meaning from language. For example:
1.      It is made us easy to choose and used words with exactly meaning.
2.      When we talking with common people or someone we know which words that they understood.
3.      In semantics, we know how to acquire the meaning in the social contact with the kind or style of language.
4.      Also, there are some branches in semantics such as euphemism that used to softening our language, collocation that used to combine the correct word and so many branches semantics have different functions. So you have richer ways of expressing yourself.
