Dever's reference list on 'compositionality'

Since I discussed, or rather, copied and pasted, notably, Dever's two examples of anti-compositional sympathies:

"What the hell does Grice mean by 'mean'?"

and

"Many Griceans were Gricean".

----

I propose to review the reference list. After all, it was retrieved to me yet again by Google when I was googling on theory-compositional-theorem, etc.
