Grice, Meaning is NOT use!

-- A genial quote from WoW:I. This remained unpublished till 1989 -- and then Grice had died in 1988:

(1967)

p. 4 of WoW:

"The precept that one should be careful
NOT to confuse meaning and use is perhaps
on the way towards being as handy a
philosophical vade-mecum as once was the
precent that one should be careful
to identify them" !
