Description

Explore the fundamental philosophical debate regarding singular reference in this specialized volume from the Philosophical Studies Series. This book provides a detailed examination of the shift in linguistic philosophy, explaining why certain thinkers historically favored a descriptivist approach and why more recent scholars support a referentialist standpoint.
