  The distinction between analytic and synthetic sentences-the idea that some sentences are true or false just in virtue of what they mean-is a famous focus of philosophical controversy. Gillian Russell reinvigorates the debate with a challenging new defence of the distinction, showing that it is compatible with semantic externalism.
