Allan Keith. Linguistic Meaning

Routledge, 2014. — 826 p. (two volumes)For students and researchers in English Linguistics.
This book presents a coherent, consistent, and comprehensive account of linguistic meaning, centered around an informally presented theory of meaning. It is intended for graduate and undergraduate students of linguistics, or any linguist curious about what a theory of meaning should seek to accomplish and the way to achieve that aim. It came to be written (like many textbooks, I suppose) because I could find no satisfactory text for my own students to use when tackling the problem of linguistic meaning.
