Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and M be a unitary R-module. Let S(M) be the set of all submodules of M and ${\phi}:S(M){\rightarrow}S(M){\cup}\{{\emptyset}\}$ be a function. We say that a proper submodule P of M is a ${\phi}$-semiprime submodule if $r{\in}R$ and $x{\in}M$ with $r^2x{\in}P{\setminus}{\phi}(P)$ implies that $rx{\in}P$. In this paper, we investigate some properties of this class of sub-modules. Also, some characterizations of ${\phi}$-semiprime submodules are given.

Let G be a group. Let R be a G-graded commutative ring with identity and M be a G-graded multiplication module over R. A proper graded submodule Q of M is semiprime if whenever $I^nK{\subseteq}Q$, where $I{\subseteq}h(R)$, n is a positive integer, and $K{\subseteq}h(M)$, then $IK{\subseteq}Q$. We characterize semiprime submodules of M. For example, we show that a proper graded submodule Q of M is semiprime if and only if grad$(Q){\cap}h(M)=Q+{\cap}h(M)$. Furthermore if M is finitely generated then we prove that every proper graded submodule of M is contained in a graded semiprime submodule of M. A proper graded submodule Q of M is said to be almost semiprime if (grad(Q)$\cap$h(M))n(grad$(0_M){\cap}h(M)$) = (Q$\cap$h(M))n(grad$(0_M){\cap}Q{\cap}h(M)$). Let K, Q be graded submodules of M. If K and Q are almost semiprime in M such that Q + K $\neq$ M and $Q{\cap}K{\subseteq}M_g$ for all $g{\in}G$, then we prove that Q + K is almost semiprime in M.

Let M be a fixed left R-module. For a left R-module X, we introduce the notion of M-prime (resp. M-semiprime) submodule of X such that in the case M=R, it coincides with prime (resp. semiprime) submodule of X. Other concepts encountered in the general theory are M-$m$-system sets, M-$n$-system sets, M-prime radical and M-Baer's lower nilradical of modules. Relationships between these concepts and basic properties are established. In particular, we identify certain submodules of M, called "primeM-ideals", that play a role analogous to that of prime (two-sided) ideals in the ring R. Using this definition, we show that if M satisfies condition H (defined later) and $Hom_R(M,X){\neq}0$ for all modules X in the category ${\sigma}[M]$, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of indecomposable M-injective modules in ${\sigma}[M]$ and prime M-ideals of M. Also, we investigate the prime M-ideals, M-prime submodules and M-prime radical of Artinian modules.

For a multiplication R-module M we consider the Zariski topology in the set Spec (M) of prime submodules of M. We investigate the relationship between the algebraic properties of the submodules of M and the topological properties of some subspaces of Spec (M). We also consider some topological aspects of certain frames. We prove that if R is a commutative ring and M is a multiplication R-module, then the lattice Semp (M/N) of semiprime submodules of M/N is a spatial frame for every submodule N of M. When M is a quasi projective module, we obtain that the interval ${\uparrow}(N)^{Semp}(M)=\{P{\in}Semp(M){\mid}N{\subseteq}P\}$ and the lattice Semp (M/N) are isomorphic as frames. Finally, we obtain results about quantales and the classical Krull dimension of M.
