这是一个试图恢复Kneale的版本的描述理论的名称，其中说，一个专名是同义词的形式明确的描述'个人命名某某'。开始，我列举了大量的观察结果，以表明名称和显性定义在所有相关方面都是相似的。然后，我转向Kripke对Kneale的建议的主要反对意见，并试图反驳它，在本文的其余部分，我详细介绍了Kneale的分析，采用了货车der Sandt提出的预设理论
This is an attempt at reviving Kneale's version of the description theory of names, which says that a proper name is synonymous with a definite description of the form 'the individual named so-and-so'. To begin with, I adduce a wide range of observations to show that names and overt definites are alike in all relevant respects. I then turn to Kripke's main objection against Kneale's proposal, and endeavour to refute it. In the remainder of the paper I elaborate on Kneale's analysis, adopting a theory of presupposition proposed by van der Sandt
