Assertion - (I) : The term 'componential Analysis' is studied under semantics. Assertion - (II) : The term 'Componential Analysis' is studied under semiotics.

Codes :

  • A.(I) is true and (II) is false.
  • B.(I) is false and (II) is true.
  • C.Both (I) and (II) are true.
  • D.Both (I) and (II) are false.

Answer: A

Statement (I) is true and statement (II) is false. Componential analysis, which breaks a word's meaning into semantic features, such as [+human, +male, +adult] for 'man', belongs to semantics, in particular lexical semantics.

Semiotics is the general study of signs and sign systems, and while it covers meaning, componential analysis is not a term studied under it in the standard classification. So option A is the key, and options B, C and D wrongly make (II) true.
