DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In this talk, I review the 
 philosophy of language that can be developed withi
 n object theory. The theory predicts the existence
  of abstract objects that can serve as the senses 
 of individual terms and abstract objects that can 
 serve as the senses of relational terms. The theor
 y also predicts that the senses of relation terms 
 map the senses of individual terms to abstract obj
 ects that serve as the senses of the whole sentenc
 e. These senses of sentences seem appropriate as F
 regean thoughts, and they can serve as the denotat
 ion of sentences when sentences are embedded withi
 n propositional attitude reports. (Object theory a
 lso yields denotations for individual terms and de
 notations for relation terms, and though the latte
 r map the former to propositions instead of truth-
 values, each proposition does still receive a trut
 h value as its extension.) In the second part of t
 he talk, I show how this work unites a quasi-Frege
 an philosophy of language a neo-Fregean philosophy
  of mathematics.
