Abstract:

This volume offers novel views on the precise relation between reference to an
object by means of a linguistic expression and our mental representation of
that object, long a source of debate in the philosophy of language,
linguistics, and cognitive science. Chapters in this volume deal with our
devices for singular reference and singular representation, with most focusing
on linguistic expressions that are used to refer to particular objects,
persons, or places. These expressions include proper names such as Mary and
John; indexicals such as I and tomorrow; demonstrative pronouns such as this
and that; and some definite and indefinite descriptions such as The Queen of
England or a medical doctor. Other chapters examine the ways we represent
objects in thought, particularly the first-person perspective and the self,
and one explores a notion common to reference and representation: salience.
The volume includes the latest views on these complex topics from some of the
most prominent authors in the field and will be of interest to anyone working
on issues of reference and representation in thought and language.
