Semantics, discourse analysis, etc

The book concentrates on focus sensitivity, the remarkable dependency some words have on the effects of focus. An example is "only": compare "She only LIKES me" (i.e. nothing deeper) to "She only likes ME" (i.e. nobody else). Series: Explorations in Semantics. Num Pages: 328 pages, black & white tables, figures, graphs. BIC Classification: CFG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 169 x 17. Weight in Grams: 550.
