accessible introduction to linguistic semantics. The first part
takes the reader through a step-by-step guide to the main phenomena
and notions of semantics, covering levels and dimensions of
meaning, ambiguity, meaning and context, logical relations and
meaning relations, the basics of noun semantics, verb semantics and

approaches to meaning: structuralism, cognitive semantics and
formal semantics. Key features include: A consistent mentalist
perspective on meaning Broad coverage of lexical and sentence
semantics, including three new chapters discussing deixis, NP
semantics, presuppositions, verb semantics and frames Examples from
a wider range of languages that include German, Japanese, Spanish
and Russian. Practical exercises on linguistic data Companion
