Description: An Advanced Introduction to Semantics by Igor Mel'čuk, Jasmina Milićević Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Aimed primarily at graduate level students and researchers, this textbook presents a model of semantics that forms a central component of human language: it explains how people create sentences based on pre-constructed and formally represented meanings. Publisher Description This book is an advanced introduction to semantics that presents this crucial component of human language through the lens of the Meaning-Text theory - an approach that treats linguistic knowledge as a huge inventory of correspondences between thought and speech. Formally, semantics is viewed as an organized set of rules that connect a representation of meaning (Semantic Representation) to a representation of the sentence (Deep-Syntactic Representation). The approach is particularly interesting for computer assisted language learning, natural language processing and computational lexicography, as our linguistic rules easily lend themselves to formalization and computer applications. The model combines abstract theoretical constructions with numerous linguistic descriptions, as well as multiple practice exercises that provide a solid hands-on approach to learning how to describe natural language semantics. Author Biography Igor Meluk is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at the Université de Montréal. One of the pioneers of Machine-Translation research, he launched, together with A. Zholkovsky, the Meaning-Text linguistic approach – a universal linguistic theory. Jasmina Milievi is Associate Professor at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia. She is co-author of the three-volume Introduction à la linguistique (2014) with Igor Meluk.
