Philosophical Perspectives on Language: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Philosophical Perspectives on Language" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Philosophical theorizing about language now involves an increasing emphasis on empirical work and a renewed convergence with philosophy of mind, formal semantics and logic. This new text reflects this evolution. Philosophical Perspectives on Language is distinguished in several important respects from other introductions to the topic. Rather than looking at philosophy of language as a collection of (at best) loosely related topicsspeech acts, demonstratives, sense and reference, truth and meaning, etc.this book is organized around a unifying theme: language as a system of symbols that is known and used.
