Meaning in Language: An Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics
Oxford: Oxford University Press UK (2004)
Abstract
A comprehensive introduction to the ways in which meaning is conveyed in language. Alan Cruse covers semantic matters, but also deals with topics that are usually considered to fall under pragmatics. A major aim is to highlight the richness and subtlety of meaning phenomena, rather than to expound any particular theory.
