Kritik
"Gaskin has produced a highly provocative work, delivered with his usual erudition, elegance, and quiet humour. Although he swims against the current, he makes good head way against numerous orthodoxies and should give pause to all, no matter one's assumptions about the connection of language to mind and world." - John Collins, University of East Anglia, UK

"This book is an impressive mix of scholarship, rigorous argument, and controversial philosophical doctrine that makes a novel contribution to contemporary work on the metaphysics of language." - Graham Stevens, University of Manchester, UKmehr
