PHI 310 PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
What is "meaning"? What conditions must an expression meet to have meaning? Is meaning subjective or objective? How can we speak meaningfully on non-existing things (including fictional entities)? How do words refer to objects in the world? What is metaphor? Readings from philosophers such as Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Kripke, and Strawson.
