                        Introducing English
                        Semantics
                    Introducing English Semantics is a comprehensive and accessible introduction
                    to semantics, the study of meaning.
                           Focusing on the English Language, Charles W.Kreidler presents the
                    basic principles of semantics. He explores how languages organize and express
                    meanings through words, parts of words and sentences.
                    Introducing English Semantics:
                    •   deals with relations of words to other words, and sentences to other sentences
                    •   illustrates the importance of ‘tone of voice’ and ‘body language’ in face-
                        to-face exchanges, and the role of context in any communication
                    •   makes random comparisons of features in other languages
                    •   explores the knowledge speakers of a language must have in common to
                        enable them to communicate
                    •   discusses the nature of language; the structure of discourse; the distinction
                        between lexical and grammatical meaning
                    •   examines such relations as synonymy, antonymy, and hyponymy; ambiguity;
                        implication; factivity; aspect; and modality
                    •   has a wealth of exercises
                    •   includes a glossary of terms
                    Written in a clear, accessible style, Introducing English Semantics will be
                    an essential text for any student following an introductory course in semantics.
