Name index to Dale

Some of his selected name references include:

Aarsleff

--- a genius who has studied the history of linguistics from the right perspective, the philosophical

Armstrong, D. M. "Meaning and Communication". Philosophical Review.

--- Interesting for the little reference to "Humpty Dumpty" (as I recall). Humpty Dumpty may only _will_ that 'glory' means 'a nice knockdown argument' but never 'intend' it.

Good references to the 'primus inter pares' of Grice's play group:

Austin, J. L. "Truth".
How to do Things with Words.
Philosophical Papers.

Anita Avramides.

An Oxonian Griceian if ever there was one. She has contributed to the Italian Grice by contributing to Sbisa, Cosenza, "Legacy of Grice", at San Marino.

J. F. Bennett. A genius, now dedicated to early modern philosophy. He reviewed PGRICE Grandy/Warner for TLS, "In the tradition of Kantotle". Cited by Grice on WoW:i.

Max Black -- another genius. I was glad to see that Martinich discusses Black's specific paper on Grice ("Literary theory"). Martinich published this in "Dialectica".

This ref. by Dale should interest R. B. Jones:

Carnap, The Logical Structure of the World. Translated by Rolf A. George.

--- We love to discuss with Jones things like "Pirots karulise elatically", as interpreted by Grice "How pirots karulise elatically: some simpler ways" (transcript from a talk in cassette form).

D. E. Cooper is cited by Dale. I love Cooper. He has written on metaphor, Grice, etc. (Longman linguistics library).

Dale let us know that an earlier interest of his was the use of 'time' in Wittgenstein's tractatus.

It's good Dale quotes from Davidson "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs", in Grandy/Warner, PGRICE.

Dale quotes from M. K. Davies, another genius, Oxford-educated. His "Meaning, Quantification, Necessity" is a gem, and has written stuff on 'tacit knowledge' (alleged) for _Mind_.

Dale manages to quote from W. Davis, whose 'infamous' (I love him), "The failure of Grice" (or something) came out with, typically, Cambridge University Press.

What a good thing of Dale to quote Fogelin:

R. J. Fogelin, review of WoW -- Journal of Philosophy, 88. I tend to regard Fogelin, rightly, as a palaeo-Griceian. As Horn notes ("Legacy of Grice" -- the above by Cosenza is "Grice's heritage", rather, sorry), Fogelin predates Grice in some few respects. "Evidence and meaning" was seminal -- e.g. regarding the implicature connections (avant la lettre) of the Square of Opposition.

It's excellent that Dale quotes a study. "Stenius's `Mood'". In Aspects of Reason our charming philosopher, Grice, notes that he'll use 'mode', rather than 'mood' after Moravsik straightened him up on that! I love Grice's use of 'radix' too in that book.

Dale cares to quote from Mats Furberg, "Saying and Meaning: A Main Theme in J. L. Austin's Philosophy" -- a rather obscure book which should be MORE obscure had the author not taken the consideration to mention that his tutor in that area, at St. John's, via a grant, was Grice!

"Enough of an empiricist"

Works by A. Gardiner.

"Some Thoughts on the Subject of Language". Man, pp. 2-6.
"The Definition of the Word and the Sentence". British Journal of Psychology, 12, 352-361.
"The distinction of 'Speech' and 'Language'". In Migliorini and Pisani (1935).
Reply to some Critics". English Studies: A Journal of English Letters and Philology, 19 58-65.
"Signe Linguistique". Acta Linguistica, 4, 107-110.
Speech and Language. 2nd edition. Oxford: Clarendon Press. (First published: Oxford, 1932.)
Names: A Controversial Essay. (First published: 1940.)

I mentioned Taylor/Cameron as treating Gardiner as 'enough of a rationalist' versus Grice's own avowed 'enough of a rationalist'. You gotta love Gardiner for that.

Dale quotes from

Grandy, Richard E. "On Grice on Language". Journal of Philosophy, 86

This above was a lovely meeting, chaired by Bennett, entitled, "The thought of Paul Grice".

Some work by Grice

1948 "Meaning". in Grice (1989).

"Utterer's Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning". William James lecture VI

"Utterer's Meaning and Intentions". William James lecture V. They were originally untitled. Never such mouthfuls!

1982. "Meaning Revisited".

"Reply to Richards". In Grandy and Warner (1986).

"Retrospective Epilogue". In Grice (1989).

"In Defence of a Dogma". Philosophical Review, 65

Dale also quotes some lovely Joachim (so Oxford) and

Jones, E. E. Constance. "The Relation between Thought and Language". Symposium also including Mann (1893) and Stout (1893). Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Volume 2 (1892-1894), number 3, part 2, 108-113.

--- a delight!


Also:

B. F. Loar, "Two Theories of Meaning". and "Mind and Meaning".

Dale also quotest Stout, that S. R. Bayne adores and whom I think Grice quotes in "Intention and Uncertainty" where Grice proposes, for what it's worth, a causal analysis of "... intends ...".

Mann, J. S. (1893). "The Relation between Thought and Language". Symposium also including Jones (1893) and Stout (1893). Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Volume 2 (1892-1894), number 3, part 2, 113-115.

Dale quotes from

McDowell, John. (1980). "Meaning, Communication, and Knowledge". In Van Straaten (1980).

which I see is also quoted by Mitchell/Baron, "Lionspeak" regarding some misapprehension of Grice, as it were.

Dale aptly quotes from:

Morris, Charles. (1946). Signs, Language, and Behavior. New York: George Braziller, Inc.

and

Myers, William Andrew. (1995). "Victoria, Lady Welby (1837-1912)". In Waithe (1995).

and

S. Neale, who was at San Marino for "Grice's Heritage".

And I'm pleased he credits Nerlich work on Gardiner! --

Nerlich, Brigitte. "From Form to Function: The contribution of Bral, Wegener and Gardiner to a semantics of communication and comprehension". In Schmitter (1990).
Nerlich, Brigitte. . Semantic Theories in Europe 1839-1930: From Etymology to Contextuality. Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company.

I'm glad he mentions

Parkinson, G. H. R., ed. (1968). The Theory of Meaning. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

which has Grice within the 'causal theories', as I recall (reference note at the end of volume -- "Further reading").

It is this thing as cited by Dale

Patton, T. E., and D. W. Stampe. (1969). "The Rudiments of Meaning: On Ziff on Grice". Foundations of Language, 5 (1969), 2-16.

that I explored 'causal' aspects in Grice's theory -- via discussion with Stampe.

Dale quotes from the Waynflete Oxford professor of metaphysics:

Peacocke, Christopher. (1976). "Truth Definitions and Actual Languages". In Evans and McDowell (1976).

And of course, Peirce -- whom Grice discussed at Oxford in the mid forties.

Peirce, Charles Sanders. (1955a). "Logic as Semiotic: The Theory of Signs". In Peirce (1955b).
(1955b). Philosophical Writings of Peirce. Selected and edited with an introduction by Justice Buchler. New York: Dover Publications, Inc.

What a beautiful thing to quote from:

Ramsey, Frank. Review of Ogden and Richards, The Meaning of Meaning. Mind, 33 (1924), 108-109. (Constable's new edition of this, now credits, of course, both Dale _AND_ Grice!)


VERY GOOD also of Dale to quote from

Ryle, Gilbert. "Ordinary Language". Philosophical Review, 62
and "Use, Usage and Meaning". Symposium also contributed to by J. N. Findlay. Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Supplementary volume 35

--- When Owen wrote his obit for Ryle for the Aristotelian Society he manages to bring Grice into the picture. Ryle was never allowed in Austin's or Grice's play group (Owen notes that Grice succeeded Austin as head of it) because of Austin's point that nobody in the group should be his senior. Not that Ryle would have enjoyed his being there. Owen goes on to caricature the Play Group further ('such a creed').

Dale quotes from

Schiffer, Stephen. "Indexicals and the Theory of Reference". Synthese 49

which is such an excellency! (An exploration of Grice's shaggy-dog story in the William James).

Dale also quotes from

Schiffer, Stephen. (1988c). "Introduction to Paperback Edition". In paperback edition of Schiffer (1972).

which has a beautiful account of why a Griceian cannot say 'sentence' when it comes to analysing the second argument in a "... believes that..." phrase.

Aptly, Dale explores this idea by Welby, as he 'traces' Grice's 'insights' on this and that (meaning as intending -- a 'common place' in Bennett's view, that Dale quotes -- "Linguistic Behaviour").

Schmitz, H. Walter. (1985). Victoria Lady Welby's Significs: The Origin of the Signific Movement. In Welby (1985).
--- Essays on Significs: Papers Presented on the Occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of Victoria Lady Welby (1837 - 1912). Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company.

Since Grice did read Peirce rather thoroughly, this apt reference by Dale is good:
Scott, Frederich J. Down. (1973). "Peirce and Schiller and Their Correspondence". Journal of the History of Philosophy, volume 11, number 3 (July 1973), 363-386.

And of course Dale aptly explores this ref. by Grice to:

Stevenson, Charles L. (1944). Ethics and Language. New Haven and London: Yale University Press.

Further references to Stout by Dale include:

Stout, G. F. "Thought and Language". Mind, Old Series, Volume 16 (1891), 181-205.

and Stout, G. F. "The Relation between Thought and Language". Symposium also including Jones (1893) and Mann (1893). Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Volume 2 (1891-1894), number 3, part 2, 115-123.

Dale quotes extensively, as he should, from Strawson:

Strawson, P. F. "Truth".
"Intention and Convention in Speech Acts". Philosophical Review, 73
"Meaning and Truth". In Strawson (1971). Logico-Linguistic Papers. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd.

Strawson also contributed to Grandy/Warner, PGRICE and reviewed Grice's WoW. Indeed wrote Grice's entry for the Dictionary of National Biography. If that's not a loyal disciple, I don't know what is.

Apt quote by Dale of

Suppes, Patrick. (1986). "The Primacy of Utterer's Meaning". In Grandy and Warner (1986).

-- where he criticises Chomsky and Biro (of all people) for misreading Grice. Biro let me have his reply to Suppes, correcting the misreading of the misreading, as it were.

It's good Dale quotes from:


Urmson, J. O. (1979). "Performative Utterances". In French, Uehling, and Wettstein (1979).

--- Grice cites Urmson in WoW:V.


For Welby, Dale quotes:

Welby, Victoria Lady. "Meaning and Metaphor". Monist, 3:4
"Sense, Meaning and Interpretation". Mind,
"Notes on the `Welby Prize Essay'". Mind, 10
---

"Semiotics and Significs"

being

Sanders Pierce and Victoria Lady Welby."

Dale quotes from:

Wilson, N. L. (1973). Review of David K. Lewis, Convention: A Philosophical Study. Synthese 26 (1973), 153-157.

I always loved Wilson for his sincere "Grice's ultimate counterexample":

Grice: I may well be mistaken, but I'm not confused. -- was Grice's reply to Wilson's charge of a illocution-perlocution blurring of a distinction.


--- which should perhaps be, in Latin, the motto of the Grice Club. Or not.

Thanks, R. E. Dale, for your lovely research!
