Recenzje

With Duffley's innovative view of meaning instantiated by substantial case studies from real discourse situations, the monograph is an impressive undertaking which opens more space to the discussion of meaning. In this regard, this book comes highly recommended to researchers interested in semantics, pragmatics and various approaches to the study of meaning. It may also be of interest to those concerned with the application of such a view of meaning to second language acquisition.
