Philosophical paper addresses composite modes of presentation, exploring implications for language and thought.
Philosophers of mind and language often acknowledge the theoretical need for modes of presentation in explaining Frege cases and coordination. But can such modes ever be composite? This paper provides a framework and motivation for this idea, addresses redundancy and transparency objections to its articulation, and delineates applications of composite modes of presentation to singular reference, polysemy, and conceptual change.
