Grice on 'informing' as misininformed by Davis

Abstract of Davis (1999) essay:

"H. P. Grice and many following him assumed that speaker meaning is the attempt to communicate. I have argued elsewhere that this assumption distorted the Gricean analysis of speaker meaning in a number of ways, and that his analysis would fit communicating, informing, and telling much better. I will show here that Grice's conditions are not completely appropriate even for these semantic acts. I agree with Grice that speaker meaning and, therefore, communication can be defined in terms of speaker intention, but the intentions I specify are different from the Gricean. I will define communication in terms of meaning and recognition, and then show how informing and telling should be defined in terms of communication."
