SEMANTIC ANALYSIS: A Practical Introduction
Cliff Goddard, University of New England, Australia
(Oxford Textbooks in Linguistics)

Semantic Analysis is a lively and clearly written introduction to the study
of meaning in language, and to the language--culture connection.
Goddard covers traditional and contemporary issues and approaches
with the relationship between semantics, conceptualization, and culture
as a key theme. He also details a number of case studies that draw on a
wide range of material from non-Indo-European languages, particularly
Australian Aboriginal languages and Malay, on which the author is an
authority.
