The Projection Problem in Embeds: The Grice Award

=== By J. L. S.

--
From wiki, "Dawkins"

"Since 2003, the Atheist Alliance International has awarded a prize during its annual conference, honouring an outstanding atheist whose work has done most to raise public awareness of atheism during that year. It is known as the Richard Dawkins Award, in honour of Dawkins' own work.[149]"

The Grice Club. "The Grice Award -- yet empty, for an engaging scholar: non-natives of Harborne need NOT apply -- who discovers the embedding clause projector for implicatures."

"This," Grice argues, or words, "is an unresolved question for me. If I say, "Rats!" therefore implying something nasty, should I call the rat-exterminator?"
