                                                  The brief history of semantic

        Says that Alfred korzybski was the first person who attenpts studing semantic as a distinct discipline, separate from the discipline of philosopy. Korzybski was a non-linguist who was passionate about introducing  a generally acceptable science of communication. Korzybsky started by describing all entities and realities  by assigning labels to them. He also had labels for groups and collections like nations, animal, people etc.

However, this is not the same with  commont objects since there seems to be a direct correspondence between items and linguistic expressions. The main challenge wits abstact labels stems from the fact that meaning does, not have an objective reference in reality.

Because different people will react to different. For instance the word ‘’love’’ would be viewed differently by different people as a result of their circumstance or present reality. Hence, their reations will be different and will therefore evoke different emotions from them.

Two other scholars, Odgen and Richards came very close to the analysis of meaning by combining philosophical processes and linguistic methodologies. The pointed out that the representation or situation should be seen as a referent while the actual pronunciation  or orthographic representation will constitute the symbol. For example, the figure  or silhouette of an adulf female human being will be the referent while the word esed to describe the diferent will constitute the symbol. The symbol is similar to korzsbyi’s concept of labels.
One of such areas that have remained dynamic among others is the concept  of change  in meaning semantics has been at the fore in the study of change in meaning.
