Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The surface structure of a sentence refers to its actual wording or syntax, while semantics refers to the meaning conveyed by the words and their relationships to one another. Deep structure relates to the underlying meaning of a sentence, and comparative linguistics compares the structures of different languages. Therefore, the difference in wording between two sentences is best described as a difference in their surface structures.
