Abstract
The general overview of the basic issues of the contemporary philosophy of language. Contemporary Philosophy of Language started with seminal work of G. Frege and developed through the work of G.E. Moore, B. Russell and L. Wittgenstein to the philosophy of ordinary language of G. Ryle and G.L. Austin. Later the main focus of Philosophy of Language was shifted by the work W.V.O. Quine to the Theory of Reference which constitutes the main problem of Contemporary Philosophy of Language.
