Abstract:

Semantics: A Cognitive Account of Linguistic Meaning is a comprehensive
introduction to the study of the meaning of linguistic expressions in English:
words and sentences. In conducting the analysis, it draws on two sources.
First, it relies on the assumptions of Cognitive Linguistics, which describes
language as being non-modular, symbolic, usage-based, meaningful and creative.
Second, it hinges on the assumptions of Cognitive Semantics, which describes
meaning as being embodied, motivated, dynamic, encyclopaedic and
conceptualised. It explicates these assumptions clearly and applies them to
diverse areas of language. Ultimately, it enables students to recognise the
complexity of the English linguistic system, and trains them to solve the
intricate puzzles characterising its nature.
