What, other than pic related, are essential reading with regards to language and its philosophy?

frege
russell.
but actually you are better of learning linguistics aspects of things before trying attempt constructing an idea of language.

Got any Heidegger recs. for language? he has a large bibliography iirc.
same for Derridada.
>>9222318
Unterwegs Zur Sprache and Was Heisst Denken (for late Heidegger general), but desu it's a lot easier to understand what Heidegger is doing in his late period, when you are acquanted with Being and Time era H.
For Derrida, idk, all he talks about is language, the classic is the grammatologie though. Read up on Saussure first.
Agamben also has quite an interesting critique of Derrida's deconstruction, don't remember exactly where though.
Plato's Cratylus
Rousseau's Essay on the origin of languages certainly some Hegel but I couldn't say which part.
Merleau-Ponty (get to know Saussure first), Signs - actually one of the essays collected in "Signs".

This.
I'm discovering the hard way that a solid foundation in linguistics is very helpful when studying the philosophy of language. Not entirely necessary (I've gotten a lot out of an introductory study of Frege, Russell, Kripke, etc on semantic properties and naming), but I've found myself referring more and more to introductory linguistic texts.

such as?

Introductory texts? Having looked at a few reputable university reading lists for prospective linguistics students I settled on David Crystal's How Language Works. It's a really nice introduction for the non-academic, and as such is much more readable than a text book (and much less partisan than the Pinker book that also gets recommended). Having said that, I still refer to various encyclopaedias from time to time if a specific term or concept comes up that isn't covered in any detail in that Crystal.
