A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

' Understanding Semantics is an original and innovative resource for introductory courses on linguistic semantics, excelling in particular in consciousness and accessibility of presentation.' Linguistics 43:2

Understanding Semantics, Second Edition, guides undergraduate linguistics students step-by-step through the three main traditions of semantics: structuralism and decomposition, cognitive semantics and formal semantics. By covering both basic concepts and recent developments in the field, it will help you to examine the methods, results and limitations of the science of linguistic meaning.

Key features:

New chapters on meaning and context, verbs and frame semantics

Analysis and exploration of neurolinguistics

Data-driven, practical exercises with answers

Online resources including figures from the book, an online glossary and links to further reading available at hodderplus.com/linguistics

Understanding Semantics analyses the relevant theories so you can develop your understanding and your own line of thinking about the field.

The Author: Sebastian Löbner, Professor of Linguistics, Institute for Language and Information, University of Düsseldorf, Germany

About the Series:
The Understanding Language series provides approachable yet authoritative introductions to major topics in linguistics. Ideal for students with little or no prior knowledge of linguistics, each book carefully explains the basics, emphasising the understanding of essential concepts rather than arguing for a particular theoretical position.

Series Editors: Bernard Comrie, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany, and Greville Corbett, University of Surrey, UK

Revue de presse

Understanding Semantics is an original and innovative resource for introductory courses on linguistic semantics, excelling in particular in consciousness and accessibility of presentation. (Linguistics 43-2 2005-05-01)

"Löbner's book is strongly recommended and is best seen as a starting point in one's inquiry into what semantics comprises."
