In this episode of Linguistics with Laura, we’ll talk about one of the most important aspects of language: semantics. This sixth episode will explain the difference between homophones, heterographs, and homonyms as well as polysemy, auto-antonyms, tautologies, contradictions, anomalies, metaphors, and more. How does context affect the meaning of our words and sentences? How is truth conveyed through language, and how is it not? Tune in to find out.
