Baltimore. 1974. Pelican/Penguin Books. 1st Pelican Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0140216944. Paperback Original. 386 pages. paperback. Cover design by Diagram. keywords: Pelican Semantics Language Linguistics. DESCRIPTION - Semantics, as the study of meaning, is centrally concerned with man's understanding of himself as a species that lives by communication. Philosophy, psychology and anthropology have all had a stake in it: but in this Pelican Geoffrey Leech argues that semantics rightly belongs to the newer discipline of linguistics, since meaning is inextricably a part of the language through which it is expressed. Taking a broad, linguist's-eye view of the subject, he stresses in the opening chapters the contribution of semantics to the understanding of practical problems of communication and concept-manipulation in modern society. In later chapters he deals with the theoretical core of the subject and considers in detail such questions as in what sense in semantics scientific'?' and What is the relation between linguistic semantics and the philosopher's study of logic?' Over the past decade a revolution in linguistic thought has restored semantics to a central position in the study of language. Geoffrey Leech's book is a timely study of the issues thus brought to the fore. inventory #29384.
