Talk:Linguistics/Semantics

Suggests (excuse me, i'm not english speaker): what is meaning (different theories and its relationship with philosophy of language); connotation-denotation; relationships between words (synonims, homonims...); lexicography; relation with pragmatics.... Thanks

Confusion about prepositions
In the last section of the chapter it claims that "Is Wikibooks a city in Canda?" is a preposition, and then concludes by saying the preposition of "Do roses have thorns?" is "Roses have thorns". This appears to me to be contradictory, in one instance it's claimed that a question is itself a preposition, and in the other that a preposition is the underlying notion that is either true or false. In my understanding of the word from other topics the meaning of the word is the second, and the assertion that all of the sentences in example 1 are propositions is false (or at best misleading). I, however, am not an expert in the specific field, so perhaps someone with more experience might clarify my misunderstanding. GiovanniSidwell (discuss • contribs) 18:57, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
