The author seeks to describe and to offer a critique of three theories about the nature of language and its connection with a wide range of philosophical issues. The three theories are those proposed by J. L. Austin, W. V. O. Quine, and N. Chomsky. The issues include such matters as the mind-body problem, language acquisition and use, meaning, reference, and the linguistic assumptions their study seems to bring with it.
