Reviews

... it's wonderful to see philosophy of language made so relevant to ethical, social and political concerns. It's a salutary development for the 21st Century. And Cappelen and Dever's newest textbook is a very useful resource for teaching it. I expect the book to be adopted widely. * Robert J. Stainton, Los Angeles Review of Books * Written to appeal to a wide audience, this book provides rigorous, detailed scholarly analysis and evaluation of its subject matter and is at the same time accessible to nonspecialists. It is intended as a textbook, and it includes questions and exercises at the end of each chapter... Recommended * D. B. Boersema, CHOICE *
