Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Raffaella Zanuttini is Professor of Linguistics at Yale University. She has worked extensively on the range and limits of variation in the syntactic expression of negation, particularly across the Romance languages, and the notion of clause type and its syntactic realization. She is the author of Negation and Clausal Structure: A Comparative Study of Romance Languages (Oxford University Press) and co-editor (with R. Kayne and T. Leu) of An Annotated Syntax Reader: Lasting Insights and Questions, (Wiley-Blackwell).

Laurence R. Horn is Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy at Yale University. His primary research program lies in the union (if not the intersection) of classical logic, lexical semantics, and neo-Gricean pragmatic theory. He has been particularly concerned with the exploration of natural language negation and its relation to other operators.
