Correlatum and designatum

Grice distinguishes issues that he first introduced in Lecture 6 of "Logic and Conversation" -- the shaggy-dog story.

Here, in Vacuous Names, p. 135, he distinguishes between

correlatum (weak)

designatum (strong)

As he puts it: "All individual constants are given correlata, but only those which on a given interpreation are non-vacuous have, on that interpretation, designata".
