Nondescriptive Meaning and Reference: An Ideational Semantics
Davis, Wayne A. (Georgetown University)
Presents a different approach to the foundations of semantics, showing how the so-called 'expression' theory of meaning can handle names and other problematic cases of nondescriptive meaning. This book argues that like other unstructured words, names mean what they do because they are conventionally used to express atomic or basic ideas.
