The essays in this book deal with a number of problems in the
analysis of intensional language - more especially with the
analysis of the personal modalities in natural language. Together
they cover a representative spectrum of the problems of
contemporary, interest in this area, in a way that should make them
of interest to linguists, logicians and philosophers concerned with
natural language. The contributors are mostly more linguists than
logicians or philosophers but some are more logicians or
philosophers than linguists. As far as possible, we have tried to
conduct the discussion in terms that will enable students from any
of these fields to come to grips with the central issues. This
volume will provide, I think, material for a very stimulating
course. I have used it as the basis for a course at the
introductory level in the philosophy of language. The essays in the
book led us back to look at the classic texts and a good deal of
the intervening literature crept in of its own accord. Out of that
experience grew the introduction that follows. In contrast with the
rest of the book, the introduction is frankly pedagogical. I hope
and believe that many who would otherwise find the papers
themselves hard to digest will e helped on their way by that
summary."
