How are semantics and pragmatics related, and how do they differ?
【正确答案】：(1) Semantics and pragmatics are two branches of linguistics.(2) Both are linguistic studies of meaning.(3) In semantics, meaning of language is considered as something intrinsic, and inherent. The meanings of words, meanings of sentences are all studied in an isolated manner, detached from the context in which they are used. Semantics is mainly concerned with the meanings of words and sentences in isolation.(4) In pragmatics, the context of language used is considered. The real situations of communication, the knowledge shared by the speaker and the hearer must be included. Pragmatics is mainly concerned with the meanings of utterances (sentences used in context), the intended meanings of the speaker in uttering sentences in contexts.
【题目解析】：语义学是研究语言意义的一门学科。语用学是语言学的一个分支，它以语言意义为研究对象，是一个新兴学科领域。语用学专门研究语言的理解和使用，研究在特定情景中的特定话语，研究如何通过语境来理解和使用语言。语用学和语义学的相同之处在于：两者皆为语言学的一个分支，并且两者均以语言的意义为研究对象。语用学和语用学作为单独的学科分支，存在着较大的差异性：语义学以静态的、分离的角度来研究意义，该意义是语言内在的本质意义并且脱离于语境；语用学研究的是话语的意义，其核心概念便是语境。
