Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Linguistic Semantics : An Introduction by John Lyons
Linguistic Semantics: An Introduction is the successor to Sir John Lyonss important study Language, Meaning and Context 1981.While preserving the general structure of the earlier book, the author has substantially expanded its scope to introduce several topics that were not previously discussed, and to take into account developments in linguistic semantics. The resulting work is an invaluable guide to the subject, offering clarifications of its specialised terms and explaining its relationship to formal and philosophical semantics and to contemporary pragmatics. With its clear and accessible style it will appeal to a wide student readership. Sir John Lyons is one of the most important and internationally renowned contributors to the study of linguistics. His many publications include Introduction to Theoretical Linguistics 1968 and Semantics 1977.show more
