Semantics is the branch of linguistics that deals with the meanings of words and sentences. It is concerned with how words and sentences are combined to convey meaning. Morphemes, syntax and phonemes are also important components of language, but they do not specifically deal with meaning. Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language, syntax refers to the rules governing the structure of sentences, and phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language.
