Semantics Stylistics & Pedagogics

Meaning being the core of the existential reality of language need to be comprehended and analyzed properly grasped and talked about. The first part of this book Semantics Stylistics and Pedagogics is planned to strengthen our comprehension of the meaning facet of language at isolable level (lexical) and also at combinatorial level (discoursal). The way meaning is viewed and analyzed at different times and in different intellecting traditions is presented in the first three chapters which constitute the part called Semantics. The fourth chapter constitutes the second part of the book--Stylistics--dealing with the way meaning is juiced out from a text. One can even say that we actually juice out meaning for a text because the meaning is actually a response from the aesthetic and cognitive capabilities of a reader. So the grasping of meaning of a text is again a dynamic process comprising denotative connotative and suggestive responses. The third part of the book is Pedagogics which subsumes androgogics too. Here we see how the language teacher who has comprehended and grasped meaning conveys it to the student in the classroom. This conveying is actually facilitating comprehension and grasping in the minds of the students.
