Reviews

"This handbook is an excellent, broad collection of new papers on the history and current state of semantics. [...] Overall, this is a fine collection of work combining past and present perspectives on semantics and its intellectual neighbors, as well as suggesting new lines of research. It would be a valuable addition to the library of any semanticist or meaning theorist."
