Description
Understanding the Meaning of English: A Practical Approach Introducing English Semantics is a comprehensive introduction to understanding how meanings are expressed in the English language. This second edition explores the knowledge of language that speakers have, enabling them to communicate effectively. The text delves into the nature of human language, examining how linguists categorise and examine it. It covers various aspects of meaning, including word meanings, prefixes, suffixes, sentences, synonymy, antonymy, and more. The book also discusses the role of context in communication and the importance of non-verbal cues such as tone of voice and body language. With a wealth of exercises and a glossary, this text is ideal for students taking an introductory course in semantics.
