Lists: description, delimitation, definition. A foreword

This Special Issue aims at pushing our knowledge and understanding of lists a step forward, by putting together contributions stemming from different research traditions and by adopting complementary perspectives on lists, in the belief that converging evidence is the key to a comprehensive account. The articles included in this Special Issue mainly focus on two directions: a formal and functional lists, and their description of delimitation. Description and delimitation are indeed two crucial steps towards a clear definition of the phenomenon of listing.
