Descriptions: summary, description and annotation

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

In 1905, Bertrand Russell argued that certain logical puzzles are solved if definite descriptions are treated as quantified expressions rather than referential expression, as Frege had thought. Since then, philosophers and, more recently, linguists have debated the relevance of this paradigm to the study of the semantics of natural language. In Descriptions, Stephen Neale provides the first sustained defense and extension of Russells theory, placing it in the center of a theory of singular and nonsingular descriptive phrases and anaphoric pronouns.Stephen Neale is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.
