The Varieties of Reference

The discussion in this book range over all the main kinds of referring expressions, starting with the work of Frege and Russell on singular reference. The work is guided by the view that an understanding of how singular thoughts relate to objects is essential for a proper treatment of the linguistic device by which such thoughts are expressed. It will be of interest to psychologist and philosophers of mind as well as to philosophers of language and linguists.Evans, Gareth is the author of 'The Varieties of Reference', published 1982 under ISBN 9780198246855 and ISBN 0198246854.
