The idea that prompted the conferenee for which many of these
papers were written, and that inspired this book, is stated in the
Editorial Introduction reprinted below from Volume 21 of Synthese.
The present volume contains the artieles in Synthese 21, Numbers
3-4 and Synthese 22, Numbers 1-2. In addition, it ineludes new
papers by Saul Kripke, James McCawley, John R. Ross, and Paul Ziff,
and reprints 'Grammar and Philosophy' by P. F. Strawson. Strawson's
artiele first appeared in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian
Society, Volume 70, and is reprinted with the kind permission of
the author and the Aristotelian Society. We also repeat our thanks
to the Olivetti Companyand Edizione di Comunita of Milan for
permission to inelude the paper by Dana Scott; it also appeared in
Synthese 21. DONALO DAVIDSON GILBERT HARMAN EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION
The success of linguistics in treating naturallanguages as formal
syntactic systems has aroused the interest of a number of linguists
in a paralleI or related development of semantics. For the most
part quite independ ently, many philosophers and logicians have
reeently been applying formai semantic methods to structures
increasingly like naturallanguages. While differenees in training,
method and vocabulary tend to veil the fact, philosophers and
linguists are converging, it seerns, on a common set of
interrelated probiems. Sinee philosophers and linguists are working
on the same, or very similar, probiems, it would obviously be
instructive to compare notes."
