    摘要、提要註: 'What do proper names mean?' "Is there a difference between 'the cat' and 'that cat' and, if so, what is it?" How can we talk about a particular person as 'he' or a particular place as 'here'? These questions, and others like them, have puzzled philosophers of language for a century and more.In Language, Thought and Reference, George Powell brings together research from the fields of pragmatics and cognitive science, as well as from the philosophy of language, to argue that these puzzlescome from a fundamental misunderstanding of how language works. Only once we understand the role cognition plays in bridging the gap from the words we use to the things they stand for can the puzzlesbesolved.
