Semantic analysis (computational) within
applied linguistics
Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field which identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems. Some of the academic fields related to applied linguistics are education, psychology, communication res ...
and
computer science, is a composite of
semantic analysis and computational components. ''Semantic analysis'' refers to a formal analysis of meaning,
and ''computational'' refers to approaches that in principle support effective implementation in digital computers.
