Its coverage is comprehensive, taking readers from foundationalconcepts, through descriptive techniques, to theoretical approachesto the subject. The use of languages other than English toexemplify the discussion is particularly refreshing, and thisrevised edition will continue to provide teachers with a clear andeasy to use textbook, and students with a solid foundation insemantics.“
