When the first edition of Semantics appeared in 1976, the
developments in this aspect of language study were exciting
interest not only among linguists, but among philosophers,
psychologists and logicians. Professor Palmer's straightforward and
comprehensive book was immediately welcomed as one of the best
introductions to the subject. Interest in Semantics has been
further stimulated recently by a number of significant, and often
contriversial, theoretical advances; and the publication of this
second edition has enabled Professor Palmer to bring his survey
thoroughly up to date. There is also an important new chapter on
'Semantics and logic', showing clearly and simply the influence
that logical models have had on the study of meaning. Professor
Palmer always illustrates his argument with helpful examples, and
his non-technical explanations will be readily intelligible to the
interested layman as well as to beginning students of language and
linguistics.
