Semantics by Geoffrey N Leech
In recent decades a revolution in linguistic thought has restored semantics to a central position in the study of language. Geoffrey Leech's book is a study of the issues thus brought to the fore.Professor Leech is Lancaster University's Emeritus Professor of English Linguistics. In the fields of linguistics and English language, he has written, co-edited, and co-authored over 25 books and over 100 articles, specializing in stylistics, English grammar, semantics, pragmatics, and corpus linguistics. He co-authored the mammoth and authoritative A Complete Grammar of the English Language (Longman 1985) with Randolph Quirk, Sidney Greenbaum, and Jan Svartvik. His Elements of Pragmatics (Longman 1983) was a seminal work in pragmatics as well. He is a member of Academia Europaea and a Fellow of the British Academy.
