    Amy Kleinschmidt

    contemporaryAnalytic Philosophy

    Amy Kleinschmidt is a contemporary philosopher working in the philosophy of language and metaphysics of linguistic objects. Her work examines how linguistic items such as word-types and word-tokens are individuated, particularly the puzzles that arise when a single inscription admits of multiple readings or interpretations. She contributes to debates at the intersection of the ontology of language and the philosophy of linguistics.
