Description

Lexical Meaning by M. Lynne Murphy provides a comprehensive introduction to word meaning, exploring its relationship with syntax and semantics. This textbook offers a balanced overview of main theoretical approaches, explaining their strengths and weaknesses in clear language. The book delves into key topics such as polysemy and sense relations, and examines the types of meanings represented by different word classes. It features abstract concepts explained through examples, along with linguistic puzzles to help students practice using these concepts. The 'Adopt-a-Word' exercises allow students to research a particular word in-depth. By covering these topics, Lexical Meaning offers valuable insights for students of semantics and linguistics.
