Puta incomplete ako sa major kong 'to but it was still a nice experience being able to read this anthology even though we skipped a lot pf articles and wasn't able to discuss more than half of it. Di ko pa rin gets si Tarski tbh.

[Michael Norwitz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Academic textbook covering the major debates on philosophy of language. Heady stuff, although the occasional authors capable of sparkling prose (Quine for example) stand out from the rest.

[Charlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an anthology of Language very much of the analytic tradition. Martinich choses the readings very carefully giving a good overview of the main problems of and also the debates within philosophy of language. It is of course high time that the analytic approach on these matters was reconciled with not only continental philosophers such as Barthes, Ricoeur and Derrida but also theorists of semiotics such as Saussure, Peirce and Eco. A lot has been done to achieve this in recent years but there is still a great deal of snobbery within academic institutions which leaves anglo-american philosophy in an unfashionable and ineffectual position and is undoubtedly responsible for the eventual disinterest in the philosophy of language we see today.

But as an introduction to the analytic side of the philosophy of language this book is perfect.

(5th Edition) Interesting, easily accessible and well structured to my course - excellent introductory textbook to read alongside my Philosophy of Language module during my final year as an undergraduate student. The texts have helped me no end in my studies.

This was an excellent read. It is compilation of papers written by some of the best theorists on the philosophy of language. Something for everyone.

[Robert · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent introductory volume ideal for use in an undergraduate class in the analytic approach to philosophy of language. This edition is likely out of date; more recent ones are available.
