-- Meaning: a very short introduction --
In this book, Emma Borg and Sarah Fisher use meaning in language as a case study for exploring meaning. They focus on three possible sources for word meaning: things in the world, things in the mind, and social practices, exploring the key approaches thinkers have put forward in each of these arenas. They end by looking at some concrete applications of the ideas and approaches introduced in the book.
