Solution

The sentences "Elephant killed Rabbit" and "Rabbit killed Elephant" are Semantically different.

Here's why:

  1. Semantics refers to the meaning that is conveyed by a text. It is concerned with the interpretation of the words, symbols, and the sentence structure.

  2. In the sentence "Elephant killed Rabbit", the meaning conveyed is that the elephant is the one who performed the action of killing, and the rabbit is the one that got killed.

  3. In the sentence "Rabbit killed Elephant", the roles are reversed. Here, the rabbit is the one who performed the action of killing, and the elephant is the one that got killed.

  4. Therefore, even though the words used in the sentences are similar, the meanings they convey are different due to the change in the roles of the subjects and the objects. Hence, they are semantically different.
