The ideal introduction for students of semantics, Lexical Meaning
fills the gap left by more general semantics textbooks, providing
the teacher and the student with insights into word meaning beyond
the traditional overviews of lexical relations. The book explores
the relationship between word meanings and syntax and semantics
more generally. It provides a balanced overview of the main
theoretical approaches, along with a lucid explanation of their
relative strengths and weaknesses. After covering the main topics
in lexical meaning, such as polysemy and sense relations, the
textbook surveys the types of meanings represented by different
word classes. It explains abstract concepts in clear language,
using a wide range of examples, and includes linguistic puzzles in
each chapter to encourage the student to practise using the
concepts. 'Adopt-a-Word' exercises give students the chance to
research a particular word, building a portfolio of specialist work
on a single word.
