Semantics
Hallo, I study English at the moment and this is my difficult task:
Explain the term sense and discuss briefly why the sense of a word is essential in oder to understand the meaning of that particular word. Use the noun cow to illustrate your answer.
I do not understand the term sense as it is explained in my course material.
Thanks

Hi,
I would go further and say that 'sense' refers less to the dictionary definition and more to how you feel about the word when you encounter it.
eg cow definition a fully grown female bovine
But my sense of the word cow is 'a big, friendly animal on a farm'
I don't kow if this is how you
