Philosophical Investigations 5 (4):247-266 (1982)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Takes up Kripke's theory of reference for proper names and natural kind words. Advocates investigation by means of ordinary language examples. Finds the problem for which Kripke's theory is offered as an answer seems to rest on an implausible picture of language.
