It is common to divide language into semantics (meaning), syntax (structure), morphology (forms, such as endings), phonology (sound sytems) and phonetics (actual sounds).o if someone says you are just with semantics they are probably trying to tell you that you are avoiding the real issue involved in whatever it was you were talking about.
