Analyzing Meaning: An Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics is an introductory textbook that provides a systematic study of meaning in human language from a linguistic perspective. The book covers major topics in semantics and pragmatics, including foundational concepts, word meanings, lexical sense relations, implicature, indirect speech acts, compositional semantics, quantifiers, intensional contexts, modality, evidentiality, causation, conditionals, aspect, and tense. Organized into six thematic units, the book combines theoretical explanations with examples, exercises, and references for further reading. It introduces both descriptive and semi-formal approaches to linguistic meaning and provides basic logical concepts without requiring prior knowledge of formal logic or set theory. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in linguistics and related fields and provides a foundation for further study in semantics and pragmatics.
