Product description

Review

"This book is an invaluable resource for students and instructors. It offers impressively broad coverage of semantic theory, and it strikes an ideal balance between theoretical developments and empirical investigation." Christopher Potts, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "This lively and engaging book provides an excellent introduction to current linguistic semantics. Its coverage is comprehensive, taking readers from foundational concepts, through descriptive techniques, to theoretical approaches to the subject. The use of languages other than English to exemplify the discussion is particularly refreshing, and this revised edition will continue to provide teachers with a clear and easy to use textbook, and students with a solid foundation in semantics." Ronnie Cann, Edinburgh University

Even if your prof doesn't require this book, as long as they mention it, you should get it. Each chapter is only twenty pages long and has a lot of great information to keep you ahead of the lectures.

Wer für die Universität ein Basisbuch zum Thema Semantics sucht oder braucht ist hier definitiv an der richtigen Stelle.

Die Sprache des Buches ist anspruchsvoll, aber für jeden Englischstudenten, der tatsächlich Interesse und Sprachgefühl hat, zu verstehen.

Die Beispiele sind anschaulich und das Buch generell übersichtlich strukturiert. Ich konnte sehr gut damit arbeiten.
