In 1905, Bertrand Russell argued that certain logical puzzles
are solved if definite descriptions are treated as quantified
expressions rather than referential expression, as Frege had
thought. Since then, philosophers and, more recently, linguists
have debated the relevance of this paradigm to the study of the
semantics of natural language. In Descriptions, Stephen Neale
provides the first sustained defense and extension of Russell's
theory, placing it in the center of a theory of singular and
nonsingular descriptive phrases and anaphoric pronouns.Stephen
Neale is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of
California, Berkeley.
