This volume is a comprehensive, up-to-date, and readable
introduction to linguistic meaning. While partial to conceptual and
typological approaches, the book also presents results from formal
approaches. Throughout, the focus is on grammatical meaning -- the
way languages delineate universal semantic space and encode it in
grammatical form.
Subjects covered by the author include: the domain of linguistic
semantics and the basic tools, assumptions, and issues of semantic
analysis; semantic properties of entities, events, and thematic
roles; language and space; tense, aspect, and the internal
structure and temporal ordering of events; modality, negation, and
the epistemology of the speaker; and modification and attribution.
In contrast to most current treatments of semantics, this book is
accessible to the beginning student of semantics and linguistics
and also useful to the advanced practitioner. A textbook and
reference work in a single volume, it can be used in a number of
disciplines: psychology, computer science, and anthropology as well
as linguistics.
