Reviews / Votes
Clear, comprehensive and authoritative - this is an ideal companion to any course on semantics, from introductory to fairly advanced level. Students will really benefit from the many examples provided and the extensive use of cross-referencing. Like an invitation to this discipline, these Key terms in semantics will be very useful for students in linguistics, pragmatics, and philosophy ... this book should be part of every university library. * Pragmatics Reviews *More details
