Summary: Semantic structures refer to the organized patterns of meaning within language, shaping how words, phrases, and sentences convey concepts and relationships. They include elements such as lexical fields, thematic roles, metaphorical mappings, and conceptual hierarchies. By analyzing semantic structures, linguists explore how meaning is constructed, interpreted, and shared across contexts. This study reveals how culture, cognition, and social interaction influence interpretation, highlighting the dynamic relationship between language form and meaning in human communication. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/117

Semantic structures refer to the organized patterns of meaning within language, shaping how words, phrases,
and sentences convey concepts and relationships. They include elements such as lexical fields, thematic roles,
metaphorical mappings, and conceptual hierarchies. By analyzing semantic structures, linguists explore how meaning
is constructed, interpreted, and shared across contexts. This study reveals how culture, cognition, and social interaction
influence interpretation, highlighting the dynamic relationship between language form and meaning in human communication.
