SEMANTICS
ii
FOREWORD
This book has long been inspired and thought for the handbook of the students in semantic field, especially in Semantic Analysis on the logic of the language.
Chapter one introduces the nature of language as the basis to seethe area of semantic that leads it to bean autonomy discipline among the other branches of linguistics such as phonology, morphology, and syntax.
Chapter two talks about the nature of semantics realized in what is the meaning of meaning. This copes with the seven types of meaning proposed by Geoffrey Leech. The area of the analysis is also supported by the inclusion of projection rules by Noam Chomsky and behaviorism and contextualism theory by Malinowski and JR. Firth, and Leonard
Bloomfield, however, what is the meaning of meaning will be thoroughly discussed in chapter four.
Logic is discussed in chapter three. The nature of logic itself has been related through proposition and its parts with semantics.
Chapter four gives the details of semantic analysis on the logic of language. This part talks about the understanding of what is the meaning of meaning such as Synonymy, Entailment, Inconsistency, etc. The explanation of all these is supported by predication analysis as the last point but not least to give the whole understanding of this book.
