I'm not great at this, but I hate to see you get nothing.  Syntax is the proper construction of a "sentence".  AFAIK, semantic is the meaning of the "sentence".  I quote sentence because for the most part compilers are parsing code.

For instance:
int functionName( int argumentOne )

Has a return type.  Has a name.  Has the type and name for an argument in parenthesis.  Is syntactically correct.

In C and C derived languages, this means (semantically) that we're defining a function that takes an integer as an argument and returns an integer.

Googling "semantic definition" was very simple and gave me a definition of semantic right at the top.
