Taking ideas from philosophical semantics and pragmatics, this book offers a unique, detailed, and critical survey of central debates concerning linguistic reference in the twentieth century. It then uses the survey to identify and argue for a novel version of current 'two-dimensional' theories of meaning, which generalise the context-dependency of indexical expressions. The survey highlights the history of tensions between semantic and epistemic constraints on plausible theories of word meaning, from analytic philosophy and modern truth-conditional semantics, to the Referentialist and Externalist revolutions in theories of meaning, to the more recent reconciliatory ambition of two-dimensionalists. It clearly introduces technical semantical notions, theses, and arguments, with easy-to-follow, step-by-step guides. Wide-ranging in its scope, yet offering an accessible route into literature that can seem complex and technical, this will be essential reading for advanced students, and academic researchers in semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy of language"-- 0aNamesxPhilosophy. 0aReference (Philosophy) 0aSemantics (Philosophy) 0aPragmatics. 7aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / Semantics2bisacsh08iOnline version:aBochner, Gregory, 1982-tNaming and indexicalitydCambridge, United Kingdom ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2021z9781316999073w(DLC) 2021024655  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  c24967d24967  00102lcc4070aMZUNILIBbMZUNILIBd2025-07-22l0oP 325.5.R44 BOC 2021pmZUlm-034301r2025-07-22 10:36:26t034301w2025-07-22yBK
