The first part takes the reader through a step-by-step guide to the main phenomena and notions of semantics, covering levels and dimensions of meaning, ambiguity, meaning and context, logical relations and meaning relations, the basics of noun semantics, verb semantics and sentence semantics. The second part provides a critical introduction to the basic notions of the three major theoretical approaches to meaning: structuralism, cognitive semantics and formal semantics.Key feature 410 0$aUnderstanding Language 606 $aSemantics 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a401/.43 700 $aLobner$b Sebastian$0938744 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972502703321 996 $aUnderstanding semantics$94486541 997 $aUNINA
