This book provides a rigorous and systematic introduction to formal semantics, the study of meaning in natural language. It explains how sentences convey meaning, how context influences interpretation, and how logical tools can be used to represent and analyze linguistic meaning. The text covers a wide range of topics including quantification, intensionality, tense and aspect, and the semantics of questions and conditionals. Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, it combines clear explanations with formal rigor, providing numerous examples and exercises to reinforce understanding.
