«Meaning in Language» is Alan Cruse's introduction to semantics and pragmatics, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (456 pages, in English).
Explains how meaning is conveyed in language and combines semantics and pragmatics. It analyzes lexical meaning, word relations, compositionality, reference, speech acts and implicatures, with examples and exercises; the aim is to show the richness of the phenomenon rather than defend a single theory.
Second edition, in the Oxford Textbooks in Linguistics series. Includes bibliography (pp. 417-426) and indexes.
Aimed at university students of linguistics and readers interested in meaning, both undergraduate and postgraduate.
