review text: [The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually. For Vols. 1--4 of the second edition see Zbl 0996.03001, Zbl 0996.03002, Zbl 0999.03001 and Zbl 1002.03001, respectively.] The present volume of this updated Handbook series is mainly devoted to problems in applied logics with particular emphasis on linguistic applications and on topics in the philosophy of language. This volume consists of six chapters: on ``Modal epistemic and doxastic logic'' (by \textit{J.-J. Ch. Meyer}, pp. 1--38), on ``Reference and information content: Names and descriptions'' (by \textit{N. Salmon}, pp.39--85), on ``Indexicals'' (by \textit{G. Forbes}, pp. 87--120), on ``Propositional attitudes'' (by \textit{R. Bäuerle} and \textit{M. J. Cresswell}, pp. 121--141), on ``Property theories'' (by \textit{G. Bealer} and \textit{U. Mönnich}, pp. 143--248), as well as on ``Mass expressions'' (by \textit{F. J. Pelletier} and \textit{L. K. Schubert}, pp. 249--335). Apart from the first one of these chapters, all the others have been part of Volume 4 of the first edition. And all these former contributions remained essentially unchanged, neglecting minimal modifications in the texts and small expansions of the lists of references. The first, new chapter on ``Modal epistemic and doxastic logic'' surveys only some recent developments within its field, and particularly such ones which are related to applications in computer science, including some remarks on autoepistemic logic. Thus it appears somehow misplaced in this volume, and better suits with Volume 8, which contains more chapters on applied modal logics. However, this last remark cannot be validated from the present volume. Unfortunately, and contrary to the situation in all the volumes of the first edition, the single volumes of the second edition do not give any serious information about the contents of the other volumes of this edition.
