Language is one of the most intricate and powerful systems humans possess, enabling us to express thoughts, emotions, and intentions. At the heart of this system lies meaning, an abstract yet essential component that shapes how we interpret and understand the world around us. This book, MEANING IN FLUX: A Journey through Structural and Post-Structural Semantics, is an exploration of how meaning is constructed, analyzed, and reinterpreted across different linguistic frameworks and levels.
To provide a comprehensive perspective, this book also examines meaning at different linguistic levels. It explores units below the word, such as morphemes, where even the smallest elements contribute to meaning-making. It then extends to units above the word, including phrases, sentences, and discourse, demonstrating how larger structures influence interpretation and communication.
Ultimately, this work invites readers to see meaning not as something fixed or singular, but as a layered and evolving phenomenon, one that reflects both the structure of language and the complexity of human thought.
