Philosophy of Language by Alexander Miller

Philosophy of Language by Alexander Miller

This well-established introduction to the philosophy of language is suitable for use on undergraduate degrees and in postgraduate study. The third edition contains an introduction for students, a new chapter on semantic minimalism and radical contextualism, the addition of chapter summaries and study questions, plus guides to further reading.

"This book has been on my reading list for philosophy of language since the first edition; I’m delighted to see this new edition, with additions, such as study questions, and updated suggestions for further reading that will enhance its value for students"

Michael Beaney, Humboldt University, Germany, and King’s College London, UK

"The third edition of Philosophy of Language provides an exceptionally lucid and accessible overview of both the history of the subject and contemporary debates. Miller covers the topics that are likely to appear on any undergraduate syllabus but he does so with a refreshing twist, emphasising the meta-semantic question, 'what constitutes meaning?’. Miller delves into fundamental questions concerning the connections between language, mind and reality, and conveys the centrality of the study of language to philosophy. The book will be an invaluable resource for introducing undergraduates to the subject."
