Semantics in Action: A Hands-On Guide

By Toshiyuki Ogihara

"Semantics - the linguistic study of meaning - is a core part of linguistic study, but it can present unique learning challenges for students encountering the subject for the first time. Linguistic semantics overlaps with the studies of philosophy and logic, and with other areas of linguistics including syntax and pragmatics, and it has been the site of much theoretical debate. Semantics in Action strives to provide students with the ideal middle-ground between the overly simplistic and the highly technical textbooks which are currently available in linguistic semantics. As the latest title in the popular Linguistics in the World textbook series, its focus is to provide a rigorous but student-friendly introduction to those with no prior experience with semantics"-- Provided by publisher.
