"history of English apart"

Grice could be so irreverent, if that's the word, when talking lingustics. Consider his case for implicature vis a vis 'animal' vs. 'or' -- 'the history of language apart", I'm right.

I'm happy to report yet another Grice-in-Hel (History of the English Language) cross-ref.:
