Meinen

---When I met Habermas I was so nervous that I kept talking to him in Gavagai.

But I was pleased that he was kind enough to quote my exegesis of his work ("German Grice") in his "Pragmatics of Communication" (MIT).

I consider the conversational illustrations of

G. Meggle
A. Kemmerling
and a few others.

I notice that in general, German is a a difficult language to implicate, especially if you don't speak it.
