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.

Matt Ruiz is a man with a plan for professional advancement; he won't be a teacher forever. But when he's asked to help out a new substitute teacher, his already packed schedule is thrown into overload. Even worse, Sawyer Evans, the new substitute, is cute. Really cute. Matt finds himself questioning whether or not his carefully plotted life will bring him happiness. But Sawyer lives by the seat of his pants, and Matt can't let go of his unbending attitude. Will a chance at romance give him the courage to chase his dreams of love? As much as Matt loves his life, he's alone on this journey. If he can't learn to let love into his heart, what's the point of pushing himself to be the best? Argentina Ryder's debut novel Life, Love, and Other Inequalities is a modern day, opposites-attract romance where even teachers discover they have something to learn about love.
