Prefinal versions of the chapters of my forthcoming book are now posted here: 

Objects and Attitudes. Oxford University Press, forthcoming

Abstract: This book pursues an approach to sentence meaning on which sentences (independent and embedded) semantically act as predicates of various attitudinal and modal objects, entities like claims, requests, promises, obligations, and permissions, rather than standing for abstract propositions playing the role of objects. The approach has a wide range of applications to issues in philosophy of language, semantics, and philosophy of mind.
