Abstract

The author of the book “Semantics” is F. R. Palmer. He is a British professor of linguistics and a linguistic researcher. He wrote this book based on a series of lectures he had given. He attempts to provide a clear and accessible introduction to various kinds of meaning and discusses the basic concepts of semantics in his book. Palmer succeeds in his attempt, providing not only a scholarly work but also one that is quite readable to anyone interested in what we mean when we use words.
