This practical coursebook introduces all the basics of semantics in
a simple, step-by-step fashion. Each unit includes short sections
of explanation with examples, followed by stimulating practice
exercises to complete in the book. Feedback and comment sections
follow each 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 subject 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 have been added to the end of each
unit to help reinforce and test learning. A completely new unit on
non-literal language and metaphor, plus updates throughout the text
significantly expand the scope of the original edition to bring it
up-to-date with modern teaching of semantics for introductory
courses in linguistics as well as intermediate students.
