Is it semantics or pragmatics?

https://languagedebates.wordpress.com/tag/pragmatics/

One of the lovely year 12s asked for clarification on the difference between semantics and pragmatics. It's a question that's been asked many times, and one that linguists are still pondering. There's a link above to a useful blog post by someone far more knowledgeable than me. Have a read and see if it makes the answer a little clearer.
