Abstract:
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. This clear and comprehensivetextbook is the most up-to-date introduction to the subject available forundergraduate students. It not only equips students with the concepts theyneed in order to understand the main aspects of semantics, it alsointroduces the styles of reasoning and argument which characterise thefield. It contains more than 200 exercises and discussion questionsdesigned to test and deepen readers' understanding. More inclusive thanother textbooks, it clearly explains and contrasts different theoreticalapproaches, summarises current debates, and provides helpful suggestionsfor further reading. Examples are drawn both from major world languages,such as Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish and English, and fromminority ones. The book also highlights the connections between semanticsand the wider study of human language in psychology, anthropology, andlinguistics itself.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
