Linguistic Philosophy- approach to philosophy common in the mid 20th century that tends to see philosophical problems as arising from inappropriate theoretical use of language and therefore as being resolved by detailed attention to the common use of expressions.
Here many of the great strides have been made by philosophers, including Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, Richard Montague and Saul Kripke.

Philosophy of language is concerned with 4 central problems: The nature of

between language and reality.
Philosophy of language
Meaning: language, mind and world
Apart from language’s interest as a target of science and its centrality to our self-conception as describers of reality, language plays a key role in philosophy. It is this role perhaps more than anything else that has explained the continued close attention paid to language in the past century.
Linguistic philosophy
Philosophical interest in language is maintained by foundational and conceptual questions in linguistics, quintessentially philosophical problems about the connections between mind, language and the world, and issues about philosophical methodology. These springs sustain a rich and fascinating field of philosophy concerned with representation, communication, meaning and truth.
