Abstract:

Meaning brings together some of the most significant philosophical
work on linguistic representation and understanding, presenting
canonical essays on core questions in the philosophy of language.

-Brings together essential readings which define and advance the
literature on linguistic representation and understanding.
- Examines key topics in philosophy of language, including
analyticity; translational indeterminacy; theories of reference;
meaning as use; the nature of linguistic competence; truth and
meaning; and relations between semantics and metaphysics.
- Includes classic articles by key figures such as Frege, Quine,
Putnam, Kripke, and Davidson; and recent reactions to this work by
philosophers including Mark Wilson, Scott Soames, James Higginbotham,
Frank Jackson, Alex Byrne, and Paul Bogohossian.
