This practical coursebook introduces all the basics of semantics in a
simple, step-by-step fashion. Each unit includes short sections of
explanation with examples, followed by stimulating practice exercises
to complete in the book. Feedback and comment sections follow each
exercise to enable students to monitor their progress. No previous
background in semantics is assumed, as students begin by discovering
the value and fascination of the subject and then move through all key
topics in the field, including sense and reference, simple logic, word
meaning and interpersonal meaning. New study guides and exercises have
been added to the end of each unit to help reinforce and test
learning. A completely new unit on non-literal language and metaphor,
plus updates throughout the text significantly expand the scope of the
original edition to bring it up-to-date with modern teaching of
semantics for introductory courses in linguistics as well as
intermediate students.
