Semantics

Semantics is an accessible and practical introduction to formal semantics, the study of linguistic meaning, for students new to the subject. Semantics:

* shows how meanings are built up and interrelated

* presupposes very little prior knowledge of grammar or linguistic terminology

* includes a glossary of technical terms

* provides a progression of exercises with answers given at the back

* backs up the activities with short, clear explanations

* includes an appendix on sets and functions.
