English proverbs with their literal meaning and implied meaning?
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Literal meaning: It is more valuable to have something tangible and certain than to take a risk for something that is uncertain or hypothetical. Implied meaning: It is better to appreciate what you have rather than risking it all for something that may not materialize. "Actions speak louder than words." Literal meaning: The way someone behaves or acts is more significant than what they say or promise. Implied meaning: It is easy to make promises, but it is the actual deeds and actions that prove one's sincerity and true intentions. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Literal meaning: When visiting or living in a foreign place, it is best to adopt the customs, behaviors, and practices of the locals. Implied meaning: Adapt to your surroundings and respect the norms and traditions of the place you are in, rather than imposing your own beliefs or habits.
What is the difference between semantics and pragmatics?
These two words are used in linguistics, in the study of how meaning is created and why a culture decides that certain words have the meaning that they do. The problem, and what gets students confused, is it can be difficult to explain the difference between them, and easier to show examples; one term (pragmatics) is actually considered a sub-field or offshoot of the other. The literal definition of semantics is "the study of the meaning of words and sentences." It also involves the study of how the meaning of words changes over the generations, and the connotation of words-- whether the word is considered positive or negative or neutral by a society. As for pragmatics, it involves how language is used-- how the context or the situation contributes to (or changes) meaning; it also analyzes such issues as when certain words are considered appropriate versus inappropriate; the role of the situation in language-- that is, who uses which words at which times (how children talk to adults, how workers talk to the boss, how romantic partners talk to each other, etc).
