How to Pronounce "Intension": "Intention" (alla Grice)

---- by JLS for the GC

--- I FOUND The Carnap "Pramgatics" thing online at:

http://books.google.com.ar/books?id=SiH15ghjVaAC&pg=PA250&lpg=PA250&dq=Carnap+%22belief,+assertion,+and+utterance%22&source=bl&ots=cNM6XR4hF6&sig=smL5T9GQr8QAvc8sBDtLXA_V4Iw&hl=es&ei=kibBS-q2BsGkuAeRnKjeBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CBEQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false

Sorry for that. I should learn to understand those things.

--- and intend to shed some comments. But I note he sort of plays, playfully, with the 'intention' of the 'intension' and vice versa --. R. B. Jones will disagree with me that Carnap is 'playing' but I see, as I read Carnap, a waggish fellow, much as Grice was. I learned the word 'wag' as applied to Grice, from Horn: "You said, 'waggish Grice'," I pointed out to him. "Yes, like a dog".

----

Ah well.

Carnap is apologising for having, not INTENTIONALLY, simplified his account of intension. Etc.
