Meaning addresses the fundamental question of human language interaction: what it is to mean, and how we communicate our meanings to others. Experienced textbook writer and eminent researcher Betty J. Birner gives balanced coverage to semantics and pragmatics, emphasizing interactions between the two.

Qty:

* Thoroughly integrates the treatment of semantics and pragmatics, providing a more accessible, realistic, coherent and contemporary account of linguistic meaning than can be achieved by treating the two topics separately

* Betty Birner's lively and student-friendly writing style engages even students new to the study of linguistics with this fascinating subject

* Includes chapters on topical and cutting-edge subjects such as meaning, machines and artificial intelligence.
