conducted on theories of language semantics and

theories of reason, trust, and value. His most popular

lectures, including the John Locke lectures,

the William James lectures, the Paul Carus lectures,

Urbana lectures, and the Kant lectures are all documented

as drafts and finalized forms of transcripts and audio files

within the collection."

"Grice is also attributed with coining the word "implicature" in 1967 [but used by Sidonius back in the day, 'implicatura'] to describe speakers, and for defining his own paradox known as "Grice's paradox," introduced in "Studies in the Way of Words," (1989)."
