About this product
Product Information
Introducing English Semanticsis a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the study of meaning. Charles W. Kreidler presents the basic principles of this discipline. He explores how languages organize and express meanings through words, parts of words and sentences. Introducing English Semantics: * deals with relations of words to other words, and sentences to other sentences * illustrates the importance of 'tone of voice' and 'body language' in face-to-face exchanges, and the role of context in any communication * makes random comparisons of features in other languages * explores the knowledge speakers of a language must have in common to enable them to communicate * discusses the nature of language; the structure of discourse; the distinction between lexical and grammatical meaning * examines such relations as synonymy, antonymy, and hyponymy; ambiguity; implication; factivity; aspect; and modality Written in a clear, accessible style, Introducing English Semanticswill be an essential text for any student following an introductory course in semantics. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, all technical terms are clearly defined in an accompanying glossary and active participation is encouraged through numerous exercises.

Reviews
'An outstanding book ... it is very readable, remarkably clear, consistently interesting and often provocative. The subject matter is treated in a very thorough manner, yet a wide variety of topics are covered. The book will be entirely accessible to its intended audience - beginning students.' - Laurel Brinton, University of British Columbia 'This excellent book is clearly written and a pleasure to read. It introduces a great deal of material which is by no means easy to find in one place elsewhere. Assuming virtually no background in linguistics, Kreidler shows how words, grammatical forms and sentences all contribute to the meaning of what we say, and he also explains how we can achieve our purposes by speaking.' - R.L. Trask, University of Sussex
