Description: What exactly is reference? And how can we characterize the semantic properties involved? Eighteen leading experts address the problems and debates that have arisen from these questions over the last century. They contribute to our understanding of the nature of reference, its role in cognition, and the place it should be given in semantic theory.
Review Quotes: "It will be of great interest to researchers working on the many subtle challenges which reference puzzles continue to raise in a quest for a uniform and articulated theory of language, thought, and perception." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
