Dale sums up Katz/Fodor, aptly:
"they never said how to determine from the markers what the actual meanings of sentences were. That is, the markers were uninterpreted."
When I read Grice, WoW:VI, I do find myself making abstract notes, using
"alpha"
and
"beta"
that Grice uses.
To say things like
"the alpha is beta"
----
Or in the language of Principia:
(x)Fx --> Gx
---
I tend to think that, if pressed, one can opt for a Peacockian approach to those 'markers', or unintepreted predicates.
It's the obbles in Grice's scheme being in a fid relation, and featuring this feature of fing, or that feature of fang.

Or not.
