Abstract:

Semantics and pragmatics – the study of meaning, and meaning in
context, respectively – are two fundamental areas of linguistics, and
as such are crucial to our understanding of how meaning is created.
However, their theoretical ideas are often introduced without making
clear connections between views, theories, and problems. This
pioneering volume is both a textbook and a research guide, taking the
reader on a journey through language and ultimately enabling them to
think about meaning as linguists and philosophers would. Assuming no
prior knowledge of linguistics, it introduces semantics, pragmatics,
and the philosophy of language, showing how all three fields can
address the 'big questions' that run through the study of meaning. It
covers key theories and approaches, while also enabling increasingly
more sophisticated questions about the interconnected aspects of
meaning, with the end goal of preparing the reader to make their own,
original contributions to ideas about meaning.
