What is the lexicon, what does it contain, and how is it structured? What principles determine the functioning of the lexicon as a component of natural language grammar? What role does lexical information play in linguistic theory? This accessible introduction aims to answer these questions, and explores the relation of the lexicon to grammar as a whole. It includes a critical overview of major theoretical frameworks, and puts forward a unified treatment of lexical structure and design. The text can be used for introductory and advanced courses, and for courses that touch upon different aspects of the lexicon, such as lexical semantics, lexicography, syntax, general linguistics, computational lexicology and ontology design. The book provides students with a set of tools which will enable them to work with lexical data for all kinds of purposes, including an abundance of exercises and in-class activities designed to ensure that students are actively engaged with the content and effectively acquire the necessary knowledge and skills they need.

Learn with confidence with this hands-on undergraduate textbook for CS2 courses. Active-learning and real-world projects underpin each chapter, briefly reviewing programming fundamentals then progressing to core data structures and algorithms topics including recursion, lists, stacks, trees, graphs, sorting, and complexity analysis. Creative projects and applications put theoretical concepts into practice, helping students master the fundamentals. Dedicated project chapters supply further programming practice using real-world, interdisciplinary problems which students can showcase in their own online portfolios. Example Interview Questions sections prepare students for job applications. The pedagogy supports self-directed and skills-based learning with over 250 'Try It Yourself' boxes, many with solutions provided, and over 500 progressively challenging end-of-chapter questions. Written in a clear and engaging style, this textbook is a complete resource for teaching the fundamental skills that today's students need. Instructor resources are available online, including a test bank, solutions manual, and sample code.
