Meaning in Language: An Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics (Oxford Textbooks in Linguistics) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This introduction to the ways in which meaning is conveyed in language covers topics normally considered to fall under pragmatics, as well as semantic matters. The author seeks, above all, to display and to explain the richness and subtlety of meaning, and to that end provides examples throughout the text. Numerous exercises (and suggested answers) are provided at every stage. The book is not bound to any particular theory, but provides explanations of theoretical approaches and perspectives as the context requires. The author stresses the need for conceptual clarity in all analyses of meaning.
