Linguistic Semantics: An Introduction is the successor to Sir John Lyonss important study Language, Meaning and Context (1981).While preserving the general structure of the earlier book, the author has substantially expanded its scope to introduce several topics that were not previously discussed, and to take into account developments in linguistic semantics. The resulting work is an invaluable guide to the subject, offering clarifications of its specialised terms and explaining its relationship to formal and philosophical semantics and to contemporary pragmatics. With its clear and accessible style it will appeal to a wide student readership. Sir John Lyons is one of the most important and internationally renowned contributors to the study of linguistics. His many publications include Introduction to Theoretical Linguistics (1968) and Semantics (1977).

El presente libro es una ampliación, realizada por su propio autor, del ya clásico Lenguaje, significado y contexto, también publicado por Paidós. Aunque mantiene su estructura general, Lyons ha ampliado sustancialmente el ambito de la materia tratada para introducir algunos asuntos no abordados en el trabajo anterior, sobre todo los avances de la semantica linguistica durante la decada de los ochenta. El trabajo resultante es una guia inapreciable, el mejor manual posible sobre el tema, pues facilita aclaraciones precisas sobre los terminos especializados y explica la relacion existente entre la semantica linguistica, la semantica formal o filosofica y la pragmatica contemporanea.
