Semantics: A Cognitive Account of Linguistic Meaning is a
comprehensive introduction to the study of the meaning of
linguistic expressions in English: words and sentences. In
conducting the analysis, it draws on two sources. First, it relies
on the assumptions of Cognitive Linguistics, which describes
language as being non-modular, symbolic, usage-based, meaningful
and creative. Second, it hinges on the assumptions of Cognitive
Semantics, which describes meaning as being embodied, motivated,
dynamic, encyclopaedic and conceptualised. It explicates these
assumptions clearly and applies them to diverse areas of language.
Ultimately, it enables students to recognise the complexity of the
English linguistic system, and trains them to solve the intricate
puzzles characterising its nature.
