Reference and Referring
Original essays on reference and referring by leading scholars that combine breadth of coverage with thematic unity. These fifteen original essays address the core semantic concepts of reference and referring from both philosophical and linguistic perspectives. After an introductory essay that casts current trends in reference and referring in terms of an ongoing dialogue between Fregean and Russellian approaches, the book addresses specific topics, balancing breadth of coverage with thematic unity. The contributors, all leading or emerging scholars, address trenchant neo-Fregean challenges to the direct reference position; consider what positive claims can be made about the mechanism of reference; address the role of a theory of reference within broader theoretical context; and investigate other kinds of linguistic expressions used in referring activities that may themselves be referring expressions. The topical unity and accessibility of the essays, the stage-setting introductory essay, and the comprehensive index combine to make R eference and Referring, along with the other books in the Topics in Contemporary Philosophy series, appropriate for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.

Referring to the World
Author: Kenneth Allen Taylor

Publisher: Oxford University Press
Release Date: 2021
This book is a contribution to ongoing debates in the philosophy of language about reference and truth. The ideas discussed have been important not only in philosophy but in logic, linguistics, psychology, computer science and other areas concerned with thought and communication. Taylor was an important philosopher and led Stanford's influential Symbolic Systems Program, graduates of which are leaders in Silicon Valley. The book is not elementary, but it presents rich and subtle products of his years of thought on important topics with many examples and clear discussions.
