The main goal of Maier’s article is to provide a new solution to what he calls the paradox of fictional names. This new solution combines two different already classic proposals: (a) Walton’s (1990) anti-realist analysis of fictional discourse and (b) Kamp’s (2015) psychologistic version of the formal semantic framework of Discourse Representation Theory. Before evaluating Maier’s solution in more detail, let us first indicate what we take to be the depth and multiple dimensions of the problem he aims to solve. According to Maier the paradox of fictional names can be stated by focusing on the following two sentences, which are paradigm examples of two different aspects of fictional discourse:

Maier的文章的主要目的是为他所谓的虚构名称悖论提供一个新的解决方案。这种新的解决方案结合了两个已经很经典的提议：（a）沃尔顿（1990）对虚构话语的反现实主义分析和（b）坎普（2015）话语表征理论形式语义框架的心理学版本。在更详细地评估Maier的解决方案之前，让我们先说明一下他要解决的问题的深度和多方面。根据Maier的说法，虚构名称的悖论可以通过关注以下两个句子来陈述，它们是虚构话语两个不同方面的范式示例：
