Semantics has been important to applied linguistics. Research in second-language acquisition and lexicography have both used lexical semantics as a resource for research on how words may be related, and on how they differ in various ways.
Another area of semantics that has been examined extensively in second-language acquisition contexts is the tense-modal-aspect system in various languages and its influence on learning second languages.
Pragmatics has had much greater impact on applied linguistics, primarly because the issues raised and the theories developed directly inform discourse analysis.
The term speech acts refers directly either to sets of verbs that do things when uttered in the right context or the use of utterances in order to covey messages that are only inferrable from a combination of the context and the literal words means complaint.
