One of the most basic themes in the philosophy of language is
referential uptake, viz., the question of what counts as properly
understanding' a referring act in communication. In this inquiry,
the particular line pursued goes back to Strawson's work on
re-identification, but the immediate influence is that of Gareth
Evans. It is argued that traditional and recent proposals fail to
account for success in referential communication. A novel account
is developed, resembling Evans' account in combining an external
success condition with a Fregean one. But, in contrast to Evans,
greater emphasis is placed on the action-enabling side of
communication. Further topics discussed include the role of mental
states in accounting for communication, the impact of
re-identification on the understanding of referring acts, and
Donnellan's referential/attributive distinction. Readership:
Philosophers, cognitive scientists and semanticists.
