Wolfram Hinzen's pioneering book lays new foundations for the study of reference and truth. He explores truth in the light of Noam Chomsky's Minimalist Program and argues that truth is a function of the human mind. He sets out an internalist reconstruction of meaning and explores its outcomes in language and thought. He makes important and radical contributions to theory and debate in linguistics, philosohy, and cognitive science, and frames his argument in a way that will be readily comprehensible to scholars and advanced students in all three disciplines.
