The workshop "Logical and Linguistic Pragmatics" in honor of the 40th anniversary of the publication of Grice's  "Logic and Conversation" took place  on 28 October 2015  at Higher School of Economics .  2015 marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of Paul Grice’s seminal work "Logic and Conversation" (Grice H.P. Logic and conversation // Syntax and semantics / eds. P.Cole, J.Morgan. New York: Academic Press, 1975. P. 41–58 ). In this pioneering work Grice formulated some key concepts of modern pragmatics: the saying/implicating distinction, conventional and conversational implicatures, cooperative principle.
The aim of the Workshop was to bring together linguists, logicians and philosophers to discuss the issues in the areas of both logical and linguistic pragmatics (and their interactions).
