Concise Encyclopedia of Semantics
Concise Encyclopedia of Semantics is a comprehensive new reference work aiming to systematically describe all aspects of the study of meaning in language. It synthesizes in one volume the latest scholarly positions on the construction, interpretation, clarification, obscurity, illustration, amplification, simplification, negotiation, contradiction, contraction and paraphrasing of meaning, and the various concepts, analyses, methodologies and technologies that underpin their study. It examines not only semantics but the impact of semantic study on related fields such as morphology, syntax, and typologically oriented studies such as 'grammatical semantics', where semantics has made a considera...

Carrie Mae Weems
Carrie Mae Weems zählt zu den wichtigsten und einflussreichsten zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen der USA und ist weit über die Kunstszene hinaus bekannt. Ihr in mehr als vier Jahrzehnten entstandenes Werk kreist um die Themenkomplexe kulturelle Identität, Strukturen der Macht, Begehren, Intimität, Rassismus und soziale Gerechtigkeit. Weems stellt die Konstruktion von race, Geschlecht und Klasse in Frage. Sie arbeitet mit Fotografie, Video, Performance, Installation und Textilien und dekonstruiert dominante historische Narrative, die von Wissenschaft und Bildung, Architektur und Massenmedien geprägt und fortgeschrieben werden. Die Publikation entstand im Kontext der Ausstellungen in der Barbican Art Gallery in London und im Kunstmuseum Basel und versammelt erstmals eine Auswahl von Schriften, Vorträgen und Gesprächen der Künstlerin, die persönliche Einblicke geben und ihre Auseinandersetzung mit den Folgen von Macht, künstlerischer Aneignung, der Bedeutung von Musik als Inspiration, Geschichtsschreibung und der normativen Rolle der Architektur zeigen.
Linguistic Meaning
Dr Keith Allan presents a coherent, consistent and comprehensive account of linguistic meaning, centred around an informally presented theory of meaning. It is intended for graduate and undergraduate students of linguistics, or any linguist curious about what a theory of meaning should seek to accomplish and the way to achieve that aim. The work assumes that the primary task of a theory of linguistic meaning is to describe the meaning of speech acts. This in turn presupposes a theory of semantics and a theory of prosodic meaning, as well as a proper treatment of the co-operative principle, context and background information. These matters are dealt with in detail. The second task of a theory of linguistic meaning is to identify what meaning is, to explain the relationships between sense and denotation, and to explicate the nature of meaningful properties and meaning relations. These matters are fully covered, and the work concludes with a summary of the principle arguments presented.
