Abstract
Alexander Miller provides an extensive and well-written introduction to the philosophy of language. He explains important theories concerning various aspects of meaning. Following his discussion of each theory, Miller surveys main criticisms and, in some cases, replies to these criticisms and/or proposed amendments of the original theories. While his book is primarily exposition, Miller includes his own critical commentary of the theories and/or responses, engaging the reader further in the debate.
