Yes. This is so what I want to say: "philosophers [or others] all too often argue from claims about language to conclusions about non-linguistic reality. The 'representational fallacy' she refers to is 'a general philosophical tendency to place too much emphasis on the significance of language when doing ontology' (p. 14), or as she elsewhere puts it, 'a general strategy of reading metaphysics off language' (p. 7). She argues that philosophers committing the representational fallacy are blind to otherwise plausible theoretical options."
