dc.description.abstractDuring the last twenty years there have been two dominant approaches to solving the semantic and ontological difficulties associated with truth and reference in fictional contexts. This thesis examines the most fully developed and influential theory of each approach (David Lewis's Modal Realist theory and Kendall Walton's MakeĀ­Believe account). I consider their solutions to the central questions posed by truth and reference in fictional contexts and evaluate their ability to address the additional problems posed by the use of real proper names in fictional contexts and by incomplete and impossible fictional worlds.
