Meanings in communication go beyond

ALexical semantics ✓ Correct
BUnderstanding
CKnowledge
DInternalisation
Correct answer: (A) Lexical semantics
Explanation

Meanings in communication go beyond lexical semantics.

Beyond dictionary word-meaning, communication carries context, tone and cultural connotation.

Understanding is an outcome of meaning, not a boundary that meaning surpasses.

Knowledge is a broader store, not the specific limit the statement points past.

Internalisation is the taking-in of meaning, not the level meaning exceeds.

Connotation and pragmatics extend meaning past the literal word.
