## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Concise overview of where semantics and pragmatics meet
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013*

I was delighted to find an introductory book aimed at students of language written by someone with an eye toward where semantics and pragmatics overlap (I think it's a terrible misfortune that they are separate disciplines). Cruse's 3rd/2011 edition is a wonderful pragmatic-oriented survey of issues in (primarily English) semantics. It gives clear and concise summaries of many important topics (emphasizing lexical semantics, reference, and pragmatic inferences), along with penetrating examples, and--unlike many of its siblings--does not get hung up on idiosyncratic examples or convoluted formalisms. The author has a great sense of humor aimed at those who appreciate wordplay, presumably everyone who would consider reading it.

    Take me back
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021*

A good refresher couse from my Semantics class back in Jr. High School.  I am spending extra time in working with my Linguistics skills that I took for granted in jr. high school.  I will keep you posted as I go along and advance.

    It deals with a complex subject in a complex way ...
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017*

It deals with a complex subject in a complex way. At times its explanations are opaque for someone who is not conversant with the discipline. Certainly not a book for someone who is looking for an introduction
