Language became the study object of some linguistic philosophers, so it appeared a number of linguistics philosophers who had a burning passion for language. They held the view that all the philosophy questions belonged to the linguistic questions. They pointed out that the analysis of all the philosophy questions were actually the analysis of language and a lot of problems in philosophy resulted in the misuse of language. The linguistic philosophers put most of their concentration on the meaning reference theory. A lot of linguistic philosophers had their own reference theories since the meaning reference theory is the most important in philosophy of language. Among all of these reference theories, Russell'denoting phrase theory which is the analysis of mixing the mathematics and logic study with the philosophical study is the most powerfully influenced.
