Carroll on Grice

From

Mikkonen's essay, 'Fiction as conversation':


"For the actual intentionalist, the cognitive goal in interpreting conversations is to figure out what the speaker intends to say. For example, Carroll, leaning on Grice, suggests that on a plausible theory of language, the meaning of an utterance is explicated according to the speaker's intention"

"On the difference between the actual intentionalist's and hypothetical intentionalist's views of fiction as conversation, see Carroll, Noël, "Interpretation and Intention: The Debate between Hypothetical and Actual Intentionalism," p. 202 and Iseminger, Gary, "Actual Intentionalism vs. Hypothetical Intentionalism," Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, 54, 4 (1996), 319–326; ref. on 321 & 324–325."

"Further, Carroll claims that literary interpretation is "roughly analogous," or "on a par," with interpretation of everyday conversation."
