Realms of Meaning : An Introduction to Semantics Hardback
by Thomas R. Hofmann
Part of the Learning about Language series
Hardback
Description
Realms of Meaning presents an accessible introduction to semantics.
It provides an understanding of the way meaning works in natural languages, against a background of how we communicate with language.
Avoiding theoretical terminology and linguistic theories it concentrates instead on the analysis of meaning, and looks in depth at such subjects as opposites and negatives, modal verbs, prepositions and word meanings.
Examples are chosen mainly from English to provide material for the wider discussion of the principles of the subject, but European, East Asian and other languages also provide illuminating examples.
