Reviews
[A] valuable resource for students and scholars interested in either the history of the discipline or the state of the contemporary debate. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty. CHOICE Manuel Garc a-Carpintero and Max K lbel have succeeded in compiling a set of eleven wonderfully clear and highly accessible overview articles on philosophy of language...The contributions are generally written by leading experts...In addition, the book has a very useful index of key terms in philosophy of language and a short list of suggested further readings for each chapter...this is a terrific collection with a couple of real gems, for example Josh Dever's wonderful introduction to formal semantics. The articles are generally informative, concise, and a pleasure to read. I am convinced that even experts in philosophy of language will benefit from working through the volume...In conclusion, Garc a-Carpintero and K lbel have assembled an extremely impressive lineup of contributors and the essays are quite generally clear, concise and comprehensive in their coverage. These essays will be very useful for people who already have some level of training in philosophy of language or linguistics and are looking to get up to speed on various topics. I am sure I will revisit the Continuum Companion many times in the future. Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
