Analyzing Meaning: An Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics <https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=8c5bd1a4-6687-4146-8a11-e9415b352447&contributor=&keyword=&subject=> by Paul Kroeger (Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics) This book provides an introduction to the study of meaning in human language, from a linguistic perspective. It covers a fairly broad range of topics, including lexical semantics, compositional semantics, and pragmatics. It is written at a level which should be appropriate for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students. It presupposes some previous coursework in linguistics, but does not presuppose any background in formal logic or set theory.
