Bringing varied perspectives on problems related to reference from philosophers of language and linguists, this edited collection initiates a dialogue between the two fields. The contributors to this volume, both philosophers and linguists, answer four questions: What is reference? Is there reference to the abstract? Is there sentential reference? Is there reference to time? Each chapter is followed by two responses: A linguist will comment on what the philosopher said, and how it can impact the research made in the related linguistic field, while a philosopher will comment on what the linguist said, in a similar sort of fashion. Edited by Ana Clara Polakof, Linguistic and Philosophical Perspectives about Reference highlights ways that linguistics and philosophy of language are currently closely connected and can mutually benefit from sustained interaction.
Ana Clara Polakof is professor at the Linguistics Institute at Universidad de la República in Uruguay.
