Semantics is concerned with the study of (literal) meaning, and the relationship between meaning and language as phenomena. Thus, it interacts with many other aspects of linguistics: morphology for word meaning, syntax for sentence meaning, etc.
Pragmatics, on the other hand, is concerned with meaning in context: the ways in which the world must be considered in order to understand exactly what is intended and interpreted in the real world.
