Linguistic Semantics: An Introduction is the successor to Sir John Lyonss important study Language, Meaning and Context (1981).While preserving the general structure of the earlier book, the author has substantially expanded its scope to introduce several topics that were not previously discussed, and to take into account developments in linguistic semantics.
