The book present and in-depth but lucid analysis of the theory of words by incorporating the latest researches in the field of Structural Semantics and ELT. Then it very neatly relates the theory of words to the pedagogic strategies of teaching vocabulary by including numerous exercises on the model passages chosen for school and college students. It is hoped that the book would come in very useful for practicing teachers, teacher trainers and would-be teachers in English both at the school and college level.
