Syntax vs Semantic Errors • Syntax errors are errors which have the wrong format. They are a breach of a some fundamental rule. • Grammatical example: “I ain’t eat” • Semantic errors are errors in meaning. They do not break a rule, but rather don’t make sense in its context. • Grammatical example: “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously”
