Reviews

<br>The focus of attention here is on some special structures of meaning commonly regarded as presenting special problems for expressionist theories of language but essential for any comprehensive treatment of the subject. Particularly impressive is Davis' account of the connection between reference and predication, and the distinctive way in which the meaning of names determines their reference. In light of that account, special treatment is given to interrogatives, imperatives, interjections, syncategorematic terms, and pejorative terms. --Choice<br>
