I made some judgment calls, like treating Wittgenstein’s classic work as part of “Anglophone” philosophy of language; treating books that straddle philosophy of language and mind as belonging here; and largely excluding the kind of work professional linguists do, even when it is of interest to philosophers of language. (Chomsky is a tricky case, but based on feedback from various philosophers of language, I have included one Chomsky book that is most clearly philosophical. Obviously his linguistics work is of great importance for many philosophers of language.) I list only books with at least 3,000 citations (rounded to the nearest 100, as before). Corrections welcome, as always.
