A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This study provides a comprehensive view of the central issues in natural language semantics. Articles by researchers in the field give an account of previous work on the topic concerned, along with some presentation of their own concerns. Thus, the handbook is both an advanced introduction to the major developments of linguistic semantics and a significant contribution to the field itself. The book should be useful both to students requiring a complete and up-to-date survey of work in semantics, and to the specialist engaged in research on particular problems in semantic theory. The articles in the handbook are written in an accessible style, and include detailed references which guide students to relevant work in the area which these articles address. The volume includes an extensive central bibliography which is intended to serve as a research tool for students and linguists working in the field.

Revue de presse

"This handbook gives an overview of some of the recent developments in semantic theory. The articles are written by well–known semanticists, who are invariably at the top of their field in the domain at hand. This leads to high quality papers that are almost without exception a great pleasure to read......I am sure the book will be widely used for reference and initial introduction to new topics by both researchers and students." Henriette De Swart, University of Utrecht

"This book collects state–of–the–art discussions in virtually all the fundamental areas of semantic inquiry. Leading scholars in the field present and critically discuss each topic in an assessible, self contained way. The result is a quite vivid and exciting picture of the ground–breaking progress made in semantics over the past twenty years. For the expert, Lappin′s volume will constitute an extremely valuable up–to–date resource on current reseach; for the beginner, an effective pedagogical aid. A most welcome accomplishment." Gennaro Chierchia, University of Milan
