Telling What She Thinks - Semantics and pragmatics of propositional attitude reports

This book aims at analyzing semantic values of proper names occurring in belief reports. The focus is on the discussion about Frege's puzzle concerning belief reports. The goal is to analyze Frege's puzzle without giving up semantic innocence. To this end, a pragmatic analysis named 'VarCA analysis' is proposed.
