Description and Table of Contents
Description
This study provides a comprehensive view of the central issues in natural language semantics. Articles by researchers in the field give an account of previous work on the topic concerned, along with some presentation of their own concerns. Thus, the handbook is both an advanced introduction to the major developments of linguistic semantics and a significant contribution to the field itself. The book should be useful both to students requiring a complete and up-to-date survey of work in semantics, and to the specialist engaged in research on particular problems in semantic theory. The articles in the handbook are written in an accessible style, and include detailed references which guide students to relevant work in the area which these articles address. The volume includes an extensive central bibliography which is intended to serve as a research tool for students and linguists working in the field.
