Martha Gibson cites Grice in abstract to her study

"'From Naming to Saying' examines the classical question of the unity of the proposition. It discusses three historical theories: Frege's doctrine of concept and object, Russell's analysis of the sentence, and Wittgenstein's picture theory. It explores whether the semantic distinction between referring and predicating can be explained, as P. F. Strawson maintained, by the metaphysical distinction between the things named, particulars and universals. It presents a novel solution, arguing that the utterance of a sentence expresses a proposition because of the interlocking causal explanations of the constituent utterances that make up the act. The account is rooted in a tradition of approaching semantics through pragmatics that traces from J. L. Austin and H. P. Grice through causal theories of meaning."
