· chapter outlines and summaries
· key takeaways
· practice activities
· further reading suggestions.
The author explains the theories of lexical meaning, introduces key concepts used in the study of meaning, and elaborates on key principles for effective analysis of semantic structure. He also explores the mechanisms of analyzing semantic structures and the techniques used to explain their interpretation.
