The final essay will be a 5-12 page argumentative, analytical essay on the topic of your choice in the philosophy of language. Your essay will be based around a specific topic or problem (and not on a particular thinker or particular historical/exegetical issue). A good example would be to focus on the causal theory of reference, the descriptive theory of names, the concept of language games, the nature of possible worlds. A bad example would be to focus on Kripke or Wittgenstein, since this is not an historical essay. You can, of course, focus heavily on one philosophers contributions. For example, if you want to focus on the causal theory of reference, it would be natural to use Kripke extensively.
Your goal is to produce an in-depth analysis and critical assessment of a particular argument, not to have a hot take or to reinvent the wheel. Try to give some small, modest new contribution to the literature.
