Concise Encyclopedia of Semantics is a comprehensive new reference
work aiming to systematically describe all aspects of the study of
meaning in language. It synthesizes in one volume the latest
scholarly positions on the construction, interpretation,
clarification, obscurity, illustration, amplification,
simplification, negotiation, contradiction, contraction and
paraphrasing of meaning, and the various concepts, analyses,
methodologies and technologies that underpin their study. It
examines not only semantics but the impact of semantic study on
related fields such as morphology, syntax, and typologically
oriented studies such as grammatical semantics, where semantics has
made a considerable contribution to our understanding of verbal
categories like tense or aspect, nominal categories like case or
possession, clausal categories like causatives, comparatives, or
conditionals, and discourse phenomena like reference and anaphora.
COSE also examines lexical semantics and its relation to syntax,
pragmatics, and cognitive linguistics; and the study of how logical
semantics develops and thrives, often in interaction with
computational linguistics.
