Key features * A handy and easily understandable reference book for students beginning the study of semantics or pragmatics * Supplies numerous cross-references to related terms * Contains an introduction which provides an overview of the field * Covers traditional terminology as well as terms relating to more recent approaches, such as Cognitive Semantics * Includes an annotated bibliography with suggestions for further reading.
