I'm a junior in high school so please excuse me if my interpretation of the question is wrong, I'm just makign an attempt to answer it at the best of my capability.
Semantic memory itself is is the portion of long term memory which is concerned with ideas, meanings, and concepts which are not related to personal experiences. You can find out more about it on this site:

Now going off of that. With the repetition of words/sequences this means that later experiences of the stimulus will be processed more quickly by the brain. In other words people respond faster to things they have already seen or heard and can be tied to other key ideas faster.
for example:
when you hear the word "Nurse" after the word "Doctor" you can tie those words together more efficiently in your mind because not only have you frequently heard them together, but also they are closely related in the same field as opposed to making a connection between "Doctor" and "Butter" which cannot be connected in the same field as easily.
So basically summarizing it, there's a difference in distinction that can continuously be seen, which is why things are easily processed through repetition with a semantic memory.
