It is a fundamental feature of language that words refer to things.
Much attention has been devoted to the nature of reference, both in
philosophy and in linguistics. Puzzles of Reference is the first book
to give a comprehensive accessible survey of the fascinating work on
this topic from the 1970s to the present day. Written by two eminent
philosophers of language, Puzzles of Reference offers an up-to-date
introduction to reference in philosophy and linguistics, summarizing
ideas such as Kripke's revolutionary theory and presenting the various
challenges in a clear and accessible manner. As the text does not
assume prior training in philosophy or linguistics, it is ideal for
use as part of a philosophy of language course for philosophy students
or for linguistics students. Puzzles of Reference belongs to the
series Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy of Language, in which
each book provides an introduction to an important area of the
philosophy of language, suitable for students at any level.
