Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Now in its fourth edition, Philosophy of Language: A Contemporary Introduction introduces
students to the main issues and theories in twenty-first-century philosophy of language,
focusing specifically on linguistic phenomena.
Author William G. Lycan structures the book’s thirteen chapters into four general parts.
Part I, Reference and referring, includes topics such as Russell’s Theory of Descriptions
(and its failings), Donnellan’s distinction, problems of anaphora, the Description Theory of
proper names, Searle’s Cluster Theory, and the Causal–Historical Theory. Part II, Theories
of meaning, surveys the competing theories of linguistic meaning and compares their various
advantages and liabilities. Part III, Pragmatics and speech acts, introduces the basic concepts
of linguistic pragmatics and includes an introduction to the Relevance approach to pragmatics.
Part IV, The expressive and the figurative, examines various forms of expressive language,
as well as what “metaphorical meaning” is and how most listeners readily grasp it.
Features of Philosophy of Language include:
• chapter overviews and summaries
• clear supportive examples
• study questions
• annotated lists of further reading
• a glossary.
Key updates to the fourth edition:
• a new section on the predicativist theory of proper names
• an expanded section on inferentialist theories of meaning
• a new section on dynamic (“update”) theories of meaning
• a separate section on varieties of presupposition
• an all-new section on “applied” philosophy of language, listing eleven recent areas of
research
• up-to-date coverage of new literature, further reading lists, and the bibliography.
Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
