Part of the Longman Annotated texts series, this volume provides an introduction to semantics. Amongst the areas covered are: markedness; opposites and negatives; deixix; orientations; modal verbs; limits to events; propositions; reference and predication; and words and sentences.
Provides an understanding of the way meaning works in natural languages, against a background of how we communicate with language. 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.
