What does 'semantic' refer to in the context of language learning?

Grammar Rules
Phonetics
Sentence Structure
Word Meaning

The correct answer is: Word Meaning

In the context of language learning, 'semantic' refers to word meaning. It is the aspect of language that deals with the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences. Understanding semantics helps in grasping the deeper significance and intended message behind the words used in communication. This is crucial for comprehension, interpretation, and effective communication in both spoken and written language. Option A (Grammar Rules), Option B (Phonetics), and Option C (Sentence Structure) are all important aspects of language learning as well, but they do not specifically pertain to the meaning of words. Grammar rules focus on correct sentence formation, phonetics on the sounds of speech, and sentence structure on the organization of words in a sentence.
