Dr Ball's research interests include a wide range of issues in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and related areas.  He has written on foundational issues in semantics and the foundations of linguistic meaning and on the nature of concepts and concept possession, and has applied views in these areas to debates about the nature of consciousness, about epistemology, and elsewhere.  His research also includes projects in developmental and comparative psychology.
