"The best blend of technical competence, philosophical
sophistication and topical coverage currently available in an
introduction to the philosophy of language." Robert M. Harnish,
University of Arizona
"This is a first-rate introduction to the topics and philosophers
it covers, from Frege through theories of truth to intentional
semantics, the metaphysics of modality, translation, language in
action, speech acts, and more. The book is well-written, clear,
accessible, and thorough. Many students will be stimulated to
explore the issues further, and will have a solid base from which
to do so." John F. Post, Vanderbilt University
