Topics range over emotions, speech acts, words for animals and artefacts, motion, activity verbs, causatives, discourse particles, and nonverbal communication. Alongside English, it features a wide range of other languages, including Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Spanish, and Australian Aboriginal languages. Undergraduates, graduate students and professional linguists alike will benefit from Goddard's wide-ranging summaries, clear explanations and analytical depth.
Meaning is fundamental to language and linguistics. This book shows that the study of meaning can be rigorous, insightful and exciting.Readership: Undergraduate students of semantics in departments of linguistics and anthropology.
