  There are several way in which meanings are classified. They are based on different points of view. In this book are going to be discussed two types of classifications.

1.Based on the units of language that can carry meaning, meanings can be classified into three categories.

  a. The first is called word meaning that is meaning carried by a word. The branch of semantics that deals with the meaning of words is called lexical semantics. (Word are also called as lexicon or lexical items). Lexical semantics is concerned with the relationships among meanings of words.

  E.g. :  human means people or person (in dictionary)

  God means the creator and ruler of the universe (in religions such as: Islam and Christianity)

b. The second category is sentence meaning that is meaning carried by a sentence. The branch of semantics that deals with sentence meaning is called sentence semantics. Sentence semantics aims to uncover the basic relationship that exists between noun phrase and the verb of the sentence. The relationship are called semantic roles.

  E.g. The man opened the door (the noun phrase “the man” serves an agent of the verbs “opened”.

  The door opened easily. (the noun phrase “the door” serves as a patience of the verb “opened”), etc.
