The papers in this collection discuss the central questions about the connections between language, reality and human understanding. The complex relations between accounts of meaning and facts about ordinary speakers understanding of their language are examined so as to illuminate the philosophical character of the connections between language and reality. The collection as a whole is a thematically unified treatment of some of the most central questions within contemporary philosophy of language.

Shipping terms
All shipments will originate in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Orders placed Sunday-Friday will be processed and shipped by 5pm the next day. Should you order on a Saturday or a holiday, we will ship on the next available business day.
All books are carefully and robustly packaged.
We do not drop ship. All titles are in our possession and immediately accessible.
Shipping within the United States will be conducted by USPS Media Mail.
International shipments will be sent via the United States Postal Service (USPS). This means that when the parcel arrives in your country, it will be handled and delivered by your country's national postal service (not a private courier). We are likely to request an additional payment to help cover the cost of an international shipment.
Important Notice to International Buyers: Import duties, taxes and other charges by your country's authorities are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Check with your local customs office to determine what these additional costs may be. Once a parcel arrives in your country, your country's authorities and postal service may process and deliver that parcel quite quickly, or quite slowly. Once the parcel arrives in your country, neither Mesquite Booksellers nor the United States Postal Service is responsible for a slow processing and delivery. Shipping time estimates concern the speed with which the parcel arrives to your country, not how quickly it arrives at your door. Some of the best (fastest) performers in this regard: Switzerland, Sweden, United Kingdom, Australia, Slovakia, Hungary, Israel. Some of the worst performers: Italy, Spain, France, Mexico.
