Abstract: A $t$-semiarc is a pointset ${calS}_t$ with the property that the number of tangent lines to ${calS}_t$ at each of its points is $t$. We show that if a small $t$-semiarc ${calS}_t$ in $mathrmPG(2,q)$ has a large collinear subset $calK$, then the tangents to ${calS}_t$ at the points of $calK$ can be blocked by $t$ points not in $calK$. We also show that small $t$-semiarcs are related to certain small blocking sets. Some characterization theorems for small semiarcs with large collinear subsets in $mathrmPG(2,q)$ are given.
