Gricean rhetoricians, Gricean philosophers

by JLS
for the GC

FOR FUN, I was brosing in google for "Grice scholarship" -- I was trying to locate an author who had done some and shared, etc. Anyway, got so many
Mr. John & Claire Grice Scholarship" "was awarded to..." that one should even list all the scholarships named Grice.

This one talked, instead of "Grice scholarship" as yet being yet another of those fields were philosophers and rhetoricians, in this case, seem to work too far apart.

"Grice scholarship seems to be yet
another area where rhetoricians
and philosophers seem to work too

  1. This is a response by Clauss to the author author in a talk who had been MORE of a Griceain. There is a discussion of Magritte,

    "this is not a pipe" as a case of flouting to a 'pragmatic pressure' to trigger an interesting implicature.

    Clauss is concerned that this co-symposiast's work is perhaps too tied to the 'written word' and proposes a Gricean analysis of Escher's "Drawing Hands".
