A Course Book of English Sematics

SematicsThis page intentionally left blank

This practical coursebook introduces all the fundamentals of semantics in a simple, step-bystep fashion. Each unit includes short sections of interpretation with examples, followed
by stimulating practice exercises to complete the book. Feedback and comment
sections follow individually exercise to enable students to monitor their progress. No previous
background in semantics is assumed, as students begin by discovering the value and
fascination of the font and then move through all key topics in the field, including
sense and reference, simple logic, word meaning, and interpersonal meaning. New
study guides and exercises collapse been added to the end of each unit (with online
answer key) to help repay and test learning. A completely new unit on non-literal
language and metaphor, plus updates throughout the text, significantly expand the
domain of the original edition to bring it up-to-date with the modern principle of
semantics for introductory courses in linguistics as well as intermediate students.
