This practical coursebook introduces all the basics of semantics in a simple, step-by-step fashion. Each unit includes short sections of explanation with examples, followed by stimulating practice exercises to complete in the book. Feedback and comment sections follow each exercise to enable students to monitor their progress. No previous background in semantics is assumed, as students begin by discovering the value and fascination of the subject and then move through all key topics in the field, including sense and reference, simple logic, word meaning and interpersonal meaning. New study guides and exercises have been added to the end of each unit to help reinforce and test learning. A completely new unit on non-literal language and metaphor, plus updates throughout the text significantly expand the scope of the original edition to bring it up-to-date with modern teaching of semantics for introductory courses in linguistics as well as intermediate students.
You Never Know
You Never Know depicts a world in which every question is an answer and every answer a new question, a world where nothing is certain except uncertainty. The reader will marvel at the incredible tale of the sweating corpse, suffer along with a young man who refuses to accept the fact that it is raining bananas, admire the perseverance of the shoemaker who invents a substance that makes heels invisible, shudder as voracious rats devour an unfortunate victim alive, and marvel as a nude defendant presents his case to a jury. LoCicero's satirical, philosophical, metaphysical romp spares no segment of society: the legal, medical, and theological experts are fair game, as are the reader and author themselves. LoCicero challenges us to do the most difficult thing of all: to think the unthinkable.

What is better to be in life, a prince or a pauper? A prince, certainly, since this is life, the tedious process of becoming a prince in life, or the tedious process of slowly modifying, adjusting, and improving your own lifestyle in order to achieve to live the life of a prince or princess, all done according to everyone’s living conditions. Since this is what everybody seems to do and desire throughout life, while slowly changing their life and lifestyle towards better, easier, richer, and more abundant living conditions. But is it good to be rich and have everything that you ever desire, or it is better to be poor and live a freer, denser, more unpredictable, more adventurous, and therefore more exciting life? Let us see, but who should ever decide your own lifestyle and living conditions, along with your own standards and meaning in life? And then, what exactly defines excitement, adventure, freedom, and fulfillment in life, along with all advantages and disadvantages of all lifestyles? Who exactly can tell what lives are better and what are worse, determining you now to adjust your own lifestyle matching whatever they assume that is best for you? Because it is your life, it is your lifestyle, and no one should control these, but you. Yet everybody does so, including authorities, hiding behind fancy words as democracy, recession, rights, chaos, evil, and criminality. And now, because of them, you have to live the lifestyle of someone else, it does not fit your own nature, needs, meanings, and fulfillment, while you never know what happens, just because you tend to associate lifestyles stereotypically with glamour, addicts, fashion, dictators, extraordinary wealth, and very important people. What can you do? Just learn everything about lifestyles in all details, and so you may design your own lifestyle as you please, in order to match your own meanings, needs, and desires in life. Because as long as princes are in control of this world and not paupers, then yes, princes will certainly control your life, along with your lifestyle and desires in life, as they please. And this is why being a prince will always be more desirable for you than being a pauper, while you might not even know it. This is what you seek and expect in life, but in vain, since you can never achieve it, because you are never allowed. And this is how you miss on everything else there is for you to witness and discover in life and in this world, since today, lack of money and lack of resources affect your life drastically, even causing you to stagnate or decay altogether. Because your development relates to your lifestyle, making possible your meaning, and therefore assuring your fulfillment, with an entire world focusing on addictions and social supremacy instead, altering the overall human lifestyle, while keeping the entire world unfulfilled. Throughout this book, we make an entire model of the human lifestyle, through empiric, cognitive, social, and higher perspectives, and then we run this model throughout a multitude of conditions, in order to identify and depict your current and envisioned lifestyles, adjusting them in a positive manner according to your needs, meanings, and fulfillment.
