Frege's puzzle concerning belief reports has been in the middle of
the discussion on semantics and pragmatics of attitude reports: The
intuition behind the opacity does not seem to be consistent with
the thesis of semantic innocence according to which the semantic
value of proper names is nothing but their referent. Main tasks of
this book include providing truth-conditional content of belief
reports. Especially, the focus is on semantic values of proper
names. The key aim is to extend Crimmins's basic idea of semantic
pretense and the introduction of pleonastic entities proposed by
Schiffer. They enable us to capture Frege's puzzle in the analysis
without giving up semantic innocence. To reach this conclusion, two
issues are established. First, based on linguistic evidence, the
frame of belief reports functions adverbially rather than
relationally. Second, the belief ascriptions, on which each belief
report is made, must be analyzed in terms of the
measurement-theoretic analogy.
