Each of the original essays provides both a critical history of the fundamental concepts central to the philosophy of language and a pointed analysis of the issues involved from the contributor's own point of view. The result is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in either the history of the discipline or the state of the contemporary debate. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eManuel García-Carpintero and Max Kölbel have succeeded in compiling a set of eleven wonderfully clear and highly accessible overview articles on philosophy of language. This is a terrific collection with a couple of real gems, for example Josh Dever's wonderful introduction to formal semantics. The articles are generally informative, concise, and a pleasure to read. I am convinced that even experts in philosophy of language will benefit from working through the volume.   García-arpintero and Kölbel have assembled an extremely impressive lineup of contributors and the essays are quite generally clear, concise and comprehensive in their coverage. These essays will be very useful for people who already have some level of training in philosophy of language or linguistics and are looking to get up to speed on various topics. I am sure I will revisit the Continuum Companion many times in the future. * Notre Dame Philosophical Review, Anders J.
