Description
Semantics by Kate Kearns provides a comprehensive introduction to formal semantics, making it accessible and engaging for students with no prior experience. This core textbook explores various semantic phenomena, including generalized quantifier theory, referential opacity, aktionsarten, thematic roles, lexical conceptual structure, tense and aspect, and event semantics. The book is illustrated with numerous examples to contextualise the theory, and practical exercises encourage students to engage with the text and develop their problem-solving skills. With its fully revised and updated content, including new material on type theory, the lambda calculus, semantic composition, reference to times in a narrative, and discourse representation theory, this edition is ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates studying semantics. The book's exercises are now graded according to level of difficulty, from beginner to very advanced level, allowing students to tailor their learning experience.
