Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a contribution to ongoing debates in the philosophy of language about reference and truth. The ideas discussed have been important not only in philosophy but in logic, linguistics, psychology, computer science and other areas concerned with thought and communication. Taylor was an important philosopher and led Stanford's influential Symbolic Systems Program, graduates of which are leaders in Silicon Valley. The book is not elementary, but it presents rich and subtle products of his years of thought on important topics with many examples and clear discussions.
