Sinopsis

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.

De la contraportada

In Descriptions, Stephen Neale provides the first sustained defense, extension, and application of Russell's Theory of Descriptions. He provides a systematic criticism of traditional arguments against this 'paradigm of philosophy' and lucidly demonstrates its importance to contemporary theories of syntax and semantics and to philosophical inquiry.
