This text seeks to provide a foundation for understanding the meaning and nature of language, and the differing concepts of truth which surround it. The author explores the theories of lingistic analysts such as Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap and Quine. He also deals with issues such as truth, meaning and the nature of language, and examines linguistic phemomena such as descriptions, names, non-extensional contexts and quantification. He stresses the importance of observing how language is used rather than assuming that it conforms to a pre-existing social structure.

PART ONE: FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES Meaning and the Nature of Language The Semantic Conception of Truth Logical Truth and Analyticity PART TWO: NAMING Names, Sense and Nominatum The Causal Theory of Names PART THREE: DEFINITE DESCRIPTIONS Description and Analysis Descriptions as Names PART FOUR: NON-EXTENSIONAL CONTEXTS Modal Contexts Propositional Attitudes PART FIVE: GENERALITY Indefinite Noun Phrases Fregean Quantifiers and Class Theory
