Who Are the Semanticists? To answer this question, let us go to the writings of those who make frequent references to semantics or to equivalent terms which have to do with the study of meaning. We find that a number of prominent thinkers have occupied themselves with this study.

With people behaving like pigs, I felt the Jews were being destroyed. I had to help them. There was no choice.
