Introducing the fields of semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy in one volume, this is a pioneering guide to how to think about meaning like a linguist and philosopher. It covers key theories and approaches, while also enabling the reader to ask increasingly more sophisticated questions about the interconnected aspects of meaning.
