About semantics flowcharts

GoConqr Original

Using semantics flowcharts

These flowcharts show different ways to organise ideas about meaning. For an overview, start with the chapter on basic concepts in linguistics: it introduces meaning and levels of analysis. Then look at Adjective meanings, which includes constructions and entailments.

For a different focus, Event and object in Semantics brings together verbs, events and predicates. Another flowchart covers deixis alongside meaning and context. The chart on semantic roles includes agents, patients and themes, as well as ambiguity and vagueness.

From chart to practice

Follow the connections in a chart, then try explaining them without looking. Return to the labels when you need a reminder. If you want a fuller written account, switch to notes on the Semantics unit page. When you are ready to check your recall, try a quiz there and revisit the relevant flowchart afterwards.

Pick a chart and follow its links at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Which flowchart is a good place to start?

Try the flowchart on the basic concepts of semantics in linguistics. It introduces meaning and levels of analysis, so it offers a starting point before you move to a narrower topic. You could then look at the chart on semantic roles or the one on adjective meanings.

What topics do the flowcharts cover?

The collection includes charts on meaning and context, deixis, semantic roles, and events and objects. Others cover adjective meanings, sense properties and stereotypes, and types of word meaning. Each chart takes a different focus, so you can choose one that matches the topic you are revising.

Are these flowcharts free to use?

Yes. Every flowchart listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
