Philosophy of language : a contemporary introduction by William G. Lycan

The philosophy of language is an interesting subject if you love words, how they work, and the significance of what they signify. Although this book is an introduction to the subject, it should not be read by those with no philosophical background. If you are not already able to think like a philosopher, you'll probably be lost and confused by Lycan and left with the impression that philosophy is a nutty and useless field.
