the good or bad associations we make with words

i think this is important because it puts a huge idea into simple wording and shows a philosophy put into a pysics style. the sentence on its own shows a human word game where we associate words with other words that show taste or distaste in a subject

Meaning as intent seems to be the oldest use of the word and goes back to Anglo-Saxon and still exists in German as an association made with the verb "meinen" as to think or intend

its strange to think the meaning of meaning has changed over time i guess it's sort of strange that meaning went from think to associate.

The field of semantics is often understood as a branch of linguistics, but non-idealized meaning as a type of semantics is more accurately a branch of psychology and ethics.

this is strange to me i've thought that even though semantics has some deeper undertone it's a branch of literature, but (at least the non-idealized part) is a branch of psycology, which is a nice twist.
