Abstract

Gottlob Frege begins his essay Sinn und Bedeutung by stating a puzzle (which we follow the tradition in calling "Frege's Puzzle") raised by the con- sideration of now familiar linguistic phenomena. Our main purpose in the present paper is to make plausible the claim that Frege's puzzle remains a serious challenge that has not yet been dealt with in a fully satisfactory way.
