Darāmadī bar maʻnīʹshināsī

Darāmadī bar maʻnīʹshināsī by Kūrush Ṣafavī introduces the study of meaning in thirteen chapters. It begins with the place of semantics within linguistics and its relationship to semiotics, pragmatics and knowledge of the world. Discussions of reference, concepts and the relationship between language and thought prepare the ground for lexical and sentence-level meaning. Topics include synonymy, hyponymy, opposition, entailment, presupposition, truth conditions and ambiguity. Further chapters examine semantic fields, metonymy, metaphor and componential analysis before introducing logical and cognitive approaches to meaning. Persian examples connect theoretical questions with the analysis of language in use. Chapter summaries, suggested further reading and exercises support progressive study, while the bibliography and index aid consultation. The work offers a structured foundation for readers developing the concepts and analytical skills needed to investigate linguistic meaning.
