{"product_id":"meaning-in-english-javier-valenzuela-9781107480162","title":"Meaning in English: An Introduction","description":"This lively, compact textbook introduces readers to semantics - the study of how we construct meaning in communication. Easy to follow, and with a clear structure, it explains formal terminology in a simple and understandable way, without using formal notation or logic, and draws on dozens of examples from up-to-date empirical research findings. Offering a tight integration of classic semantic issues with cognitive science, Javier Valenzuela provides a complete and coherent overview of the main topics in this area, including a review of the empirical methods used in semantic theorizing, and discussions of both non-traditional and new topics, such as how meaning is acquired by children and how meaning is constructed cross-linguistically. Featuring illustrations, exercises, activities, suggestions for further reading, highlighted key terms, and a comprehensive glossary, this book is accessible to beginners and undergraduates, including those from non-linguistic backgrounds with no prior knowledge of linguistic analysis. It will be an essential resource for courses in English language, English studies, linguistics and the cognitive sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Valenzuela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107480167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107480162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.81h x 6.95w x 0.64d","brand":"Javier Valenzuela","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947753177343,"sku":"9781107480162","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f6c0b413-08e5-45e7-bcb3-3b504159e7c9.jpg?v=1681520593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meaning-in-english-javier-valenzuela-9781107480162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
