Language and Meaning provides a clear, accessible and unique
perspective on the philosophical and linguistic question of what it
means to mean. Looking at relationships such as those between
literal and non-literal meanings, linguistic form and meaning, and
language and thought, this volume tackles the issues involved in
what we mean and how we convey it. Divided into five easy-to-read
chapters, it features: Broad coverage of semantic, pragmatic and
philosophical approaches, providing the reader with a balanced and
comprehensive overview of the topic; Frequent examples to
demonstrate how meaning is perceived and manipulated in everyday
discourse, including the importance of context, scientific studies
of human language, and theories of pragmatics; Topics of debate and
key points of current theories, including references to ongoing
controversies in the field; Annotated further reading, allowing
students to explore topics in more detail. Aimed at undergraduate
students with little or no prior knowledge of linguistics, this
book is essential reading for those studying this topic for the
first time.
