Dr Keith Allan presents a coherent, consistent and comprehensive
account of linguistic meaning, centred around an informally
presented theory of meaning. It is intended for graduate and
undergraduate students of linguistics, or any linguist curious
about what a theory of meaning should seek to accomplish and the
way to achieve that aim. The work assumes that the primary task of
a theory of linguistic meaning is to describe the meaning of speech
acts. This in turn presupposes a theory of semantics and a theory
of prosodic meaning, as well as a proper treatment of the
co-operative principle, context and background information. These
matters are dealt with in detail. The second task of a theory of
linguistic meaning is to identify what meaning is, to explain the
relationships between sense and denotation, and to explicate the
nature of meaningful properties and meaning relations. These
matters are fully covered, and the work concludes with a summary of
the principle arguments presented.
