This clear and accessible textbook introduces the crucial concepts
essential to your study of the semantics and pragmatics of English.
Coverage is wide-ranging, taking you from word meaning to the level
of discourse, and explaining how these topics are treated in
contemporary linguistic research. Chapters cover adjective, noun
and verb meanings, situation types, figurative language, tense,
aspect, modality, quantification, topic and focus. Explanations of
entailment, compositionality and scope provide a foundation for
subsequent study of formal semantics. Supported by chapter
summaries and with plenty of usage examples, exercises and
discussion questions, you will not only gain a systematic overview
of meaning in English but be equipped with the tools to argue for
specific analyses as well.
