- Double-weighted statement
- This 176-page monograph is the product of seven years of research and writing on the philosophical interpretation and semantic behaviour of proper names. The book is primarily composed of new philosophical research, developing the Millian theory of proper names and defending it against well-known objections and misconceptions.
Please see Research Information box for statement on material in Chapter 8 that was developed further in Fictional Discourse, also submitted here.

- Chapter 8, ‘Fictional Names’, contains an earlier version of material subsequently developed more fully in Fictional Discourse, also submitted here. We would ask that chapters 1–7 only of Proper Names be read.
