Lexical Semantics

This text discusses the meaning of words. The author establishes the descriptive and generalizable facts about lexical relations that any formal theory of semantics will have to encompass, then goes on to discuss such topics as idiomaticity, lexical ambiguity, and synonymy.

Klappentext
Lexical Semantics is about the meaning of words. Although obviously a central concern of linguistics, the semantic behavior of words has been unduly neglected in the current literature, which has tended to emphasize sentential semantics and its relation to formal systems of logic.
