This accessible and lively introduction to semantics and the
multi-faceted nature of language guides the non-specialist through
the major ways in which the English language makes meaning. The
author discusses the meaning of linguistic units at all levels of
language, from sound to discourse and the role of theories and
models themselves in helping us to understand human behavior.
Through examples and exercises, readers are encouraged to think
through and evaluate complex ideas and theories for
themselves.
