The Philosophy of Language

Published in paperback for the first time, this revision of the best-selling text on the philosophy of language collects forty-one of the most important articles in the field, covering all of the central issues, and making it the most comprehensive volume of its kind. Included in the fourth edition are new articles by Mill, Russell, Searle, Perry, and Millikan. As in previous editions, introductions to each of the selections provide background to the issues and discuss connections among them, and a bibliography of suggested further reading follows each section.
