OverviewThis is an introductory textbook in semantics for lower level undergraduates, including extensive end of chapter exercises and suggestions for further reading. The main aim of the book is to provide a good understanding of a range of semantic phenomena and issues in semantics, adopting a truth conditional account of meaning, but without using a compositional formalism. The book assumes no particular background in linguistics or philosophy, and all the technical tools used are explained as they are introduced. The style aims to be accessible, with numerous examples.
