Frege's puzzle is a fundamental challenge for accounts of mental and linguistic representation. This piece surveys a family of recent approaches to the puzzle that posit representational relations. 

Grice identifies the central commitments of relational approaches and present several arguments for them. 

Grice distinguishes two kinds of relationism—semantic relationism and formal relationism—corresponding to two conceptions of representational relations. 

Grice discusses the consequences of relational approaches for foundational questions about propositional attitudes, intentional explanation, and compositionality.
