Semantics is a key concept in linguistic theory, concerning the analysis and description of the meaning of linguistic expressions. This collection contains a selection of the most important contributions to semantic theory ranging from Gottlob Frege's essay 'On Sense and Reference' written in 1892 to present-day thinkers in the field. The collection is structured around three major themes. * Fundamental notions, the relations between semantics and grammar and the relations between meaning and cognition * The semantics of basic grammatical constructions and structures, such as the semantics of determiners, nouns, adjectives and related topics including quantifier scope and the definiteness / indefiniteness distinction. * Topics related to sentential and discourse semantics: events and thematic roles, tense, aspect and modality, negation, questions, pronouns and the semantics / pragmatics interface. The six volumes cover a wide range of issues within the interdisciplinary field of semantics as it relates to philosophy, linguistics and cognitive science. A new general preface and brief volume-specific introductions by the editor set the themes in context. The set is completed with a full index, which will guide the reader through the work
