J.S. Mill argued for the exceptional status of proper names (eg. 'John'). The authoress proposes three possible interpretations of Mill's claim: (1) proper names are exceptional in that they do not have meaning of the sort that common names (eg. 'man') have; (2) proper names are special in that they do not have meaning in the way other words have meaning; (3) proper names are exceptional in not having meaning at all. The paper's main objective is to examine Mill's claim in the light of modern semantic theories and to discuss different views about how proper names should best be formally represented in a truth-theory for a natural languge: the Individual Constant View, the Variable View and the Predicate View.
