Sažetak
The book is a festschrift written in honor of Laurence R. Horn. The editors of the book claim that the volume is intended to bring together the best of the current work at the semantics/pragmatics boundary from a neo-Gricean perspective in memory of one of the most known representatives of this approach to the questions of the philosophy of linguistics, namely Laurence R. Horn. He laid the ground for what would later become known as the classic Gricean analysis of logical operator and presented to philosophers and linguists his theory of scalar implicature that will later come to be known as the theory of “Horn scales”. He examined the problem of natural language negation from a neo-Gricean perspective and formed a well known theory of Q- and R-based conversational implicature.
