\nAbstract
:
\nIn this talk, I review the philosophy of
language that can\nbe developed within object theo
ry.\nThe theory predicts the existence of abstract
objects that can serve\nas the senses of individu
al terms\nand abstract objects that can serve as t
he senses of relational\nterms. The theory also pr
edicts that the\nsenses of relation terms map the
senses of individual terms to\nabstract objects th
at serve as the senses\nof the whole sentence. Th
ese senses of sentences seem appropriate as\nFrege
an thoughts, and they can serve\nas the denotation
of sentences when sentences are embedded within\n
propositional attitude reports.\n(Object theory al
so yields denotations for individual terms and\nde
notations for relation terms, and though\nthe latt
er map the former to propositions instead of truth
-values,\neach proposition does still receive a\nt
ruth value as its extension.) In the second part
of the talk, I\nshow how this work unites a quasi-
Fregean\nphilosophy of language a neo-Fregean phil
osophy of mathematics.\n
