This special issue of MANUSCRITO collects original articles by leading scholars from Latin America and Spain about topics discussed in Mário Gómez-Torrente’s recent book Roads to Reference: An Essay on Reference Fixing in Natural Language (²⁰¹⁹). Each article is followed by Gómez-Torrente’s reply.

The idea of the issue grew out of a workshop on Gómez-Torrente’s book organized in July 16th 2020 at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas (UNAM).

We hope the issue will increment the interest for this book in particular and bring a substantial contribution to the discussion of central topics in contemporary analytic philosophy.
