Grice on logical form -- explicitly in his "Actions and Events"

"Let us now address the question whether Davidson's overpublicised
proposal, with regard to the

LOGICAL FORM

of action-sentences might not be deceptively simple."

(p. 13).

"Let me state that ... I shall treat Davidson's proposal concerning the

LOGICAL FORM

of action-sentences as applying generally to

event-sentences

of which (according to Davidson) action-sentences are a subclass".

(p. 15).

----

"It seems clear that in Davidson's view

an action-sentence DERIVES THE LOGICAL FORM

which he attributes to it from its status as

one kind of event-sentence."
