Semantic Analysis: A Practical Introduction

Semantic Analysis is a lively and clearly written introduction to the study of meaning in language, and to the language-culture connection. Goddard covers traditional and contemporary issues and approaches with the relationship between semantics, conceptualization, and culture as a key theme. He also details a number of case studies that draw on a wide range of material from non-Indo-European languages, particularly Australian Aboriginal languages and Malay, on which the author is an authority.
