Abstract
I am grateful to Robyn Carston for her judicious and constructive commentary on my recent prise de position (Horn 2005a). In the spirit of Carston's remarks, I will touch on both some of the areas of agreement and some of the domains of divergence between her model of pragmatics and mine, while somewhat slighting the territories in which our approaches are more complementary.
