AB - It is one of the major topics that straddle between linguistics and philosophy how to give an adequate semantic account of proper names. In this paper, I will examine one prominent attempt at such an account by Professor Jaeyeon Bak that, at first blush, looks to hold some promise. What I will first do is to reveal that Professor Bak’s criticism of the view that proper names have single unique referents stems from an unredeemable misunderstanding of the interplay between linguistic expressions and contexts of use. I will then turn to her own positive proposal about proper names and argue that it is wrong on two counts. First, the assumption that proper names are invariably introduced by ‘naming ceremonies’, which is one of the cornerstones of Professor Bak’s proposal, must go. Second, the proposal, when properly clarified, involves a conceptual self-contradiction as regards the social character of language. I do not believe that the failure of Professor Bak’s proposal is due to some minor oversights on her part. But I instead believe that this is a sign of its basic approach to proper names being off-base, which I hope to establish elsewhere.
