Originally published in 1981. This is a book for the final year
undergraduate or first year graduate who intends to proceed with
serious research in philosophical logic. It will be welcomed by
both lecturers and students for its careful consideration of main
themes ranging from Gricean accounts of meaning to two dimensional
modal logic. The first part of the book is concerned with the
nature of the semantic theorist’s project, and particularly with
the crucial concepts of meaning, truth, and semantic structure. The
second and third parts deal with various constructions that are
found in natural languages: names, quantifiers, definite
descriptions, and modal operators. Throughout, while assuming some
familiarity with philosophical logic and elementary formal logic,
the text provides a clear exposition. It brings together related
ideas, and in some places refines and improves upon existing
accounts.
