Javier Valenzuela: Meaning in English : An Introduction

Meaning in English : An Introduction


Description

This lively, compact textbook introduces readers to semantics - the study of how we construct meaning in communication. Easy to follow, and with a clear structure, it explains formal terminology in a simple and understandable way, without using formal notation or logic, and draws on dozens of examples from up-to-date empirical research findings. Offering a tight integration of classic semantic issues with cognitive science, Javier Valenzuela provides a complete and coherent overview of the main topics in this area, including a review of the empirical methods used in semantic theorizing, and discussions of both non-traditional and new topics, such as how meaning is acquired by children and how meaning is constructed cross-linguistically. Featuring illustrations, exercises, activities, suggestions for further reading, highlighted key terms, and a comprehensive glossary, this book is accessible to beginners and undergraduates, including those from non-linguistic backgrounds with no prior knowledge of linguistic analysis. It will be an essential resource for courses in English language, English studies, linguistics and the cognitive sciences.

For programmers, analysts, and database administrators, SQL in a Nutshell is the essential reference for the SQL language used in today's most popular database products.

You'll also get a concise overview of the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) model, and a clear-cut explanation of foundational RDBMS concepts -- all packed into a succinct, comprehensive, and easy-to-use format. This book of thermodynamic tables for students is presented in the widely used SI (metric) unit system and is an updated version of the previous edition. In addition to steam and refrigerant tables, the book includes a table of molar enthalpies of gases at low pressure, a series of thermochemical tables, tables giving thermodynamic properties of air at low temperatures (for use in gas liquifaction and Trust and Trustworthy Computing : 7th International Conference, TRUST 2014, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, June 30 -- July 2, 2014, Proceedings download book refrigeration calculations at cryogenic temperatures) and tables of transport properties of various fluids. A number of appendices define all units used in the tables and give both exact and approximate conversion factors to British units and to some non-SI units. In this new edition of the book, Mr Haywood has made a major change in the table of equilibrium constants, to suit more generally accepted practice. Definitions of the basic SI units have also been updated. This book will be of great use to all students studying engineering and science subjects and, in particular, mechanical engineering students.
