The book "Semantics" by Walter de Gruyter is a comprehensive academic text that provides a current introduction to the central aspects of linguistic semantics. It is aimed at both undergraduate students and self-learners who wish to engage with the fundamental phenomena and theoretical approaches of semantics. The new edition places particular emphasis on the coherence and comprehensibility of the scientific argumentation. The topics are gradually unfolded and include, among others, the dimensions of meaning, ambiguity, predication, and the relationship between meaning and cognition. Newly added chapters enhance the understanding of the role of context and frames in semantics. This standard work is thus an indispensable reference for anyone deeply interested in the meaning of language.
