Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-19 00:00:00 Dean Chen this book and chalmers's the conscious mind really had me jazzed about 2-d semantics, the idea that there are two distinct semantic values for any utterance. "assertion," reprinted in this anthology, is one of the earliest and definitely one of the classiest presentations of the idea. don't really agree with stalnaker too much, but he always astounds with his ingenuity and rigor. smart stuff and very important.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-11 00:00:00 Larry Shoemaker 14 years ago I looked at this book in an English bookshop in Stockholm. I don't know why I didn't buy it then but often thought of it later. Recently, I had a brainwave, guessed the title and managed to find and order it on Amazon. Looking at the maps, I'm trying to remember what I and my Father used to say for certain words as a child. The local words all seem plausible but those further afield seem downright bizarre and I feel compelled now to show the book to my friends in the North, the South, the Easy and West and ask them, "Did you really say that?".
