Notes:
Conclusion The volume under review would have benefited from more interaction among the participating symposiasts. Barely half of the papers are followed by comments, and these are often tame and occasionally obsequious. The collection contains much that is interesting and suggestive, but there is little cohesion among the parts. Of the four (out of thirteen) papers concerned with general issues of meaning and use (those by Quine, Kasher, Dummett, and Putnam), only Kasher's gives any indication that the theory of speech acts exists. And if that isn't the theory of use, we don't know what is.
