Semantic holism by Wikipedia Bot 0
Semantic holism is a philosophical theory related to the meaning of words and sentences, positing that the meaning of an individual term or expression is influenced by its relationships to other terms within a larger system or context. In other words, the meaning of a word cannot be fully understood in isolation; rather, it is interconnected with the meanings of other words and the overall linguistic or conceptual framework in which it is situated.
