Abstract:

>>From Naming to Saying explores the classic question of the unity of
the proposition, combining an historical approach with contemporary
causal theories to offer a unique and novel solution.

Presents compelling and sophisticated answers to questions about how
language represents the world.  Defends a novel approach to the
classical question about the unity of the proposition.  Examines three
key historical theories: Frege's doctrine of concept and object,
Russell's analysis of the sentence, and Wittgenstein's picture theory
of meaning.  Combines an historical approach with discussion and
defense of a contemporary causal theory of the unity of the
proposition.  Establishes a view compatible with, though not dependent
on, a causal theory of meaning.

Lingfield(s):   Linguistic Theories

Written In:  English (Language Code: ENG)
