Have owned this book for many years. I believe I needed it for the A Levels. Glad to have got around to reading it properly for leisure.

Very interesting, yet also very fragmented. I feel that this book tries to tackle too many issues at once, and superficially so; the arguments of different people are interspersed throughout chapters instead of presented as one cohesive whole. A decent introduction to philosophy of language, although as such an introduction I feel that it is too technical.
