Current textbooks in formal semantics are all versions of, or introductions to, the same paradigm in semantic theory: Montague Grammar.

As such, it better fits into a modern graduate or under...

(H/B) IMAGINATION IN TEACHING AND LEARNING
Young people learn most readily when their imaginations are engaged and teachers teach most successfully when they are able to see their subject matter from their pupils' point of view. It is, however, difficult to define imagination in practice and even more difficult to make full use of its potential. In this original and stimulating book, Kieran Egan, winner of the prestigious Grawemeyer award for education in 1991, discusses what imagination really means for children and young people in the middle years of schooling and what its place ...

(P/B) INVITATION TO LINGUISTICS

The emphasis in modern linguistics is on descriptive investigations of the way the world speaks -- and why. In Invitation to Linguistics, Richard Hudson explains what the subject is, why it appeals, how it works, what issues it confronts and the practical impact it can have on our social and professional lives. He poses puzzles in Latin and Zulu, visits realms of linguistic exotica, delves into deep grammar, unrave...

THE CHAMBERS DICTIONARY
This eleventh edition of The Chambers Dictionary follows speedily on the heels of its predecessor, which was published in 2006.

It is not as though nothing of note has changed since the publication of the tenth edition. The English language continues to ev...
