  1. What I found interesting in the reading, is sense and reference. I find these two very important in semantics because it helps you understand the meaning of linguistic expressions. Generally, sense means the meaning of the word. For example lets use money. The sense of ” money ” is (paper that has value). This gives a general sense of the word “money”. Next is reference. References are the nouns that have relationships together. For example a dog. We can say “dog—animal” or ” Tree— oak” These nouns have relationships tied together.
