semantic field
In linguistics, a semantic field is a set of words grouped semantically (that is, by meaning), referring to a specific subject.〔Howard Jackson, Etienne Zé Amvela, ''Words, Meaning, and Vocabulary'', Continuum, 2000, p14. ISBN 0-8264-6096-8〕〔Pamela B. Faber, Ricardo Mairal Usón, ''Constructing a Lexicon of English Verbs'', Walter de Gruyter, 1999, p67. ISBN 3-11-016416-7〕 The term is also used in other academic disciplines, such as anthropology,〔Ingold, Tim (1996). ''Key debates in anthropology''. Routledge. ISBN 0-415-15020-5, ISBN 978-0-415-15020-0. Source: () (accessed: Sunday May 2, 2010), p.127〕 computational semiotics,〔Andersen, Peter Bøgh (1990).

ISBN 0-521-39336-1, ISBN 978-0-521-39336-2.

==Definition and usage==
Brinton (2000: p. 112) defines "semantic field" or "semantic domain" and relates the linguistic concept to hyponymy:
"Related to the concept of hyponymy, but more loosely defined, is the notion of a semantic field or domain. A semantic field denotes a segment of reality symbolized by a set of related words. The words in a semantic field share a common semantic property."〔

A general and intuitive description is that words in a semantic field are not necessarily synonymous, but are all used to talk about the same general phenomenon.〔Adrian Akmajian, Richard A. Demers, Ann K. Farmer, Robert M. Harnish, ''Linguistics'', MIT Press, 2001, p239. ISBN 0-262-51123-1〕 Synonymy requires the sharing of a sememe or seme, but the semantic field is a larger area surrounding those. A meaning of a word is dependent partly on its relation to other words in the same conceptual area.〔Jaakko Hintikka, ''Aspects of Metaphor'', Springer, 1994, p41. ISBN 0-7923-2786-1〕 The kinds of semantic fields vary from culture to culture and anthropologists use them to study belief systems and reasoning across cultural groups.〔
Andersen (1990: p. 327) identifies the traditional usage of "semantic field" theory as:
"Traditionally, semantic fields have been used for comparing the lexical structure of different languages and different states of the same language."〔Andersen, Peter Bøgh (1990). ''A theory of computer semiotics: semiotic approaches to construction and assessment of computer systems. Volume 3 of Cambridge series on human-computer interaction''. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-39336-1, ISBN 978-0-521-39336-2. Source: () (accessed: Sunday May 2, 2010), p.327〕
