In this scholarly work, Monia Abidi provides a detailed exploration of the semantic representation of sentences, grounding her analysis in the influential theoretical framework developed by Ray Jackendoff in 1983. The book meticulously dissects the components of meaning within sentence structures, examining conceptual structures and thematic roles. Abidi offers critical insights and applications of Jackendoff's model, making this an essential read for students and researchers in linguistics, semantics, and cognitive science interested in the deep, underlying meaning of language. It is a comprehensive study that bridges theoretical concepts with practical linguistic data analysis.
