While most of Horn’s examples are lexical and involve form-to-function changes in
meaning, i.e. “semasiology”, one issue of particular interest to him involves the grammatical
domain of quantifiers and what constraints on expressions there may be. The issue here is
function-to-form relationships, also known as “onomasiology”.
9 Horn (1989: Chapter 4)
noted the absence in most languages of a single word for meanings in the corner of the
Aristotelian Square of Oppositions that denotes the negation of the weaker member of a pair
on a scale, e.g. the negation of some in the scale some-all.
