Semantics is the study of meaning in language. This clear and
comprehensive textbook is the most up-to-date introduction to the
subject available for undergraduate students. It not only equips
students with the concepts they need in order to understand the
main aspects of semantics, it also introduces the styles of
reasoning and argument which characterise the field. It contains
more than 200 exercises and discussion questions designed to test
and deepen readers' understanding. More inclusive than other
textbooks, it clearly explains and contrasts different theoretical
approaches, summarises current debates, and provides helpful
suggestions for further reading. Examples are drawn both from major
world languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Arabic,
Spanish and English, and from minority ones. The book also
highlights the connections between semantics and the wider study of
human language in psychology, anthropology, and linguistics itself.
