Definite Descriptions - Oxford Studies in Semantics and Pragmatics
Elbourne, Paul (Reader in Semantics at Queen Mary, University of London)
Paul Elbourne defends the Fregean view that definite descriptions ('the table', 'the King of France') refer to individuals, and offers a new and radical account of the semantics of pronouns. He draws on a wide range of work, from Frege, Peano, and Russell to the latest findings in linguistics, philosophy of language, and psycholinguistics.
