Semantics: Principles Series 9th Edition - Rodolfo Ilari and João Wanderley Geraldi

An Introduction to the Study of Meaning

Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It is a vast and complex field that encompasses a wide range of topics, from the basic building blocks of meaning to the complex ways in which words and sentences are combined to create coherent and meaningful texts.

This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to semantics. It is written by two leading scholars in the field, and it draws on the latest research to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the subject.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the basic concepts of semantics, such as the nature of meaning, the different types of meaning, and the relationship between semantics and other areas of linguistics. The second part discusses the different ways in which words and sentences are combined to create meaning. The third part explores the application of semantics to a variety of real-world contexts, such as literature, law, and artificial intelligence.

This book is an essential resource for anyone who is interested in the study of meaning in language. It is a valuable tool for students, scholars, and professionals alike.
