Ever since the linguistic turn, analytic philosophy of language has undergone a series of development, coming along with different types of philosophical investigation. Brandom＇ s theory of meaning from the perspective of analytic pragmatism, which is regarded as a new milestone in philos- ophy, represents a new trend of analytic philosophy. Based on a survey of the 8 basic types of analytic philosophy of language, a conclusion has been reached that analytic philosophers of language should remain committed to the pursuit of meaning rather than truth because the study of meaning is indispensable to analytic philosophy of language.
