Description
This practical coursebook introduces the basics of semantics in a clear and step-by-step manner. It covers key topics such as sense and reference, simple logic, word meaning, and interpersonal meaning, with accompanying practice exercises to help students monitor their progress.
With new study guides and exercises added throughout, this edition significantly expands on the original scope to bring it up-to-date with modern teaching of semantics for introductory courses in linguistics. The book also includes a new unit on non-literal language and metaphor, providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject.
No prior background in semantics is assumed, making it accessible to students starting from scratch. Feedback and comment sections are included after each exercise to support learning and reinforce understanding.
