You obviously like a challenge, in choosing this article on the philosophy of language to review. When I was reading through it I wondered about how even its coverage is of the various topics. For example, in the history section, coverage of ancient vs. contemporary were markedly different. I think the lead is a bit weak. The first paragraph is fine, but the second paragraph needs a transition. Not knowing much about the philosophy of language, I had to reread it several times to try to make sense of where the author was going. I wondered also about the thoroughness of the article. It seemed to cover a lot of ground, and so I am assuming that this indicates the major concepts were raised. Another thing that I wondered about, since the criteria for review asks about coverage of underrepresented communities, is what role the various cultural levers might have on the philosophy of language. I would imagine that race, religion, gender, sexuality, education, etc. impact language and yet I was surprised that none of these appear in any of the various discussions (although the topic of gendered words *is* there). I guess what I am trying to say here is that I wonder about completeness. But, admittedly this is not an area that I have any real knowledge of.--JBeaudoin (talk) 03:50, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
