Grice on the logical form of "Martha fell (into a ditch/trance)"

Actions and Events, p. 23:

"Since, in my view, there

NO UNIQUELY correct way of

SPECIFYING The

LOGICAL FORM

of a statement (the

LOGICAL FORM

of

one and the same

statement

may be characterised with equal

property, in different ways

for different purposes) it may

even be that ONE characterisation

of LOGICAL FORM

of a conjunctive statement is that

of providing a

SPECIFICATORY modification of

one of the conjuncts."

Grice provides the example:

"John arrived and Mary departed"

--- or Strawson:

"Mary got pregnant and Mary married."

----

Grice writes:

"[The above sentence] might be seen

as embodying the attachment of an adverbial

modifier ("and Mary departed") to the initial

conjunct."

----

(He considers this as accounting for Davidson's embarrassment with 'sneezes' (a strong, violent sneeze, qua sneeze).
