Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Semantics is the study of the literal meaning of words and the meaning of the way words are combined. This engaging introduction to formal semantics assumes no prior knowledge, providing a solid understanding of a range of semantic phenomena. Truly wide-ranging in coverage, no other introductory textbook discusses a comparable range of topics. Areas covered include:
--a beginner's introduction to type theory and the lambda calculus
--generalized quantifier theory
--referential opacity
--thematic roles and lexical conceptual structure
--aktionsarten
--tense and aspect, including Discourse Representation Theory
--event semantics
--generalized quantifier theory
--referential opacity
--thematic roles and lexical conceptual structure
--aktionsarten
--tense and aspect, including Discourse Representation Theory
--event semantics
Illustrated throughout with numerous practical examples, each chapter also contains exercises, graded to three different levels of difficulty, as well as suggestions for further reading.
Thoroughly revised and expanded, this second edition includes entirely new material on type theory, lambda calculus, semantic composition and discussion of time within a narrative. Comprehensive and accessible, Semantics is ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate students working at a variety of levels.
