Abstract:

The first of its kind, this textbook provides a comprehensive
introduction to the study of semantics and pragmatics from an
interactionist perspective, grounded entirely on empirical methods of
social/behavioural science. Designed for advanced undergraduate
students, beginning graduate students, and practicing researchers, it
responds to the growing requirement that rather than relying on their
own native speaker intuitions, students gather and analyze semantic
data in a broad range of research contexts, from fieldwork to
psycholinguistic and child language research. Practical in its
approach, it provides the tools that the advanced student needs in
order to 'do' this semantic research, in both field and laboratory
contexts. This is facilitated by an innovative view of meaning that
combines reference and mental representations as aspects of
communicative interaction. It is accompanied by a glossary of terms
and a range of exercises for students, along with model answers to the
exercises for instructors.
