Descriptions (A Bradford Book) Kindle - In 1905, Bertrand Russell argued that certain logical puzzles are solved if definite descriptions are treated as quantified expressions rather than referential expression, as Frege had thought. Since then, philosophers and, more recently, linguists have debated the relevance of this paradigm to the study of the semantics of natural language. In Descriptions, Stephen Neale provides the first sustained defense and extension of Russell's theory, placing it in the center of a theory of singular and nonsingular descriptive phrases and anaphoric pronouns.

Description :
In 1905, Bertrand Russell argued that certain logical puzzles are solved if
definite descriptions are treated as quantified expressions rather than
referential expression, as Frege had thought. Since then, philosophers and,
more recently, linguists have debated the relevance of this paradigm to the
study of the semantics of natural language. In Descriptions, Stephen Neale
provides the first sustained defense and extension of Russell's theory, placing
it in the center of a theory of singular and nonsingular descriptive phrases and
anaphoric pronouns.
