Its focus lies in examining the relationships between words, employing principles such as polysemy, antonymy, homophony, and synonymy. Analyzing the semantic connections between sentences involves techniques such as mutual entailment, paraphrasing, contradiction, asymmetrical entailment. A sentence harboring multiple meanings is termed ambiguous, with ambiguities falling into two categories, namely, lexical ambiguity, arising from polysemous words, and structural ambiguity, resulting from
various word combinations within a sentence. The subject of semantics comprises several subjects, including computational semantics, conceptual semantics, lexical semantics, formal semantics, cross-cultural semantics, and cognitive semantics. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of semantics and related fields. It unfolds the innovative aspects of this area which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. This textbook, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to students involved in this area at various levels." -- Back cover 0aSemantics.  0aLanguage and languages.  0aComparative linguistics.   2ddcn0cBKh401.43iW691skCIRm2024e23  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcCIRd2025-12-11l0oCIR 401.43 W691s 2024p030889r2025-12-11 14:20:28t1-1w2025-12-11yBK  c31193d31193
