Author Description
Philosophy of language has been at the center of philosophical research at least since the start of the 20th century. Since that 'linguistic turn' much of the most important work in philosophy has related to language. But until now there has been no regular forum for outstanding original work in this area. That is what Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Language offers. Anyone wanting to know what's happening in philosophy of language could start with these volumes.

Gussak, compiles peer-reviewed essays that address the ongoing evolution of linguistic analysis since the early 20th-century linguistic turn. The text serves as a centralized repository for contemporary arguments and theoretical developments in the field.
