References to references

Speranza

Jones was referring to Neale, in "Ling. and Phil." For the record, Neale's set of references -- with the occasional commentary:

Adams, E. [1992]. Grice on Indicative Conditionals. Pacific Philosophical Quarterly.

----- We were discussing titles to Grice's lectures. Lecture IV Grice entitles "Indicative conditionals" and the motto stuck!

---

Armstrong, D. (1971). Meaning and Communication. Philosophical Review 80, 427–447.

--- I like this. He disallows Humpty Dumpty as _meaning_ that there is 'glory' for Alice ("There's a nice knock-down argument for you!"). Humpty cannot intend that. Armstrong is an Australian philosopher.

Avramides, A. (1989). Meaning and Mind, Cambridge: MIT Press.

--- an elaboration of her DPhil (under Strawson).

Bach, K. (1987). On Communicative Intentions: A Reply to RĂ©canati. Mind and
Language 2, 141–154.

Bach, K., and M. Harnish (1979). Linguistic Communication and Speech Acts.
Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press.

---- Harnish, on 'and'-conjunction, in HIS paper.

Barwise, J., and R. Cooper (1981). Generalized Quantifiers and Natural Language.
Linguistics and Philosophy 4, 159–219.

Bennett, J. (1976) Linguistic Behavior. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

--- We were referring to this. ""Meaning" was published in 1957", but is dated 1948. Grice cares to date it 1948 in WoW. Bennett is making a connection between the 1956 "Defense of a dogma" and the 'later' "Meaning". Grice credits Bennett in WoW even if he does not follow Bennett's suggestion to re-order all the papers!

Blackburn, S. (1984). Spreading the Word: Groundings in the Philosophy of Language.
Oxford: Clarendon Press.

--- formerly of Pembroke and one of my favourite philosophers, ever!

Chomsky, N. (1965). Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. Cambridge: MIT Press.

Cohen, J. (1971). Some Remarks on Grice’s Views about the Logical Particles of Natural
Language. In Y. Bar-Hillel (ed.), Pragmatics of Natural Language. Dordrecht:
Reidel, 50–68.

--- Cohen continued with his reply to Walker, "Can the conversationalist be defended?". Cohen thinks it could not! Both pieces by Cohen now in his posthumous book. If I had not been a Griceite, I would possibly have been a Cohenite.

Donnellan, K. (1966). Reference and Definite Descriptions. Philosophical Review 77,
281–304.

--- cited by Grice, "Vacuous Names". Grice hastens to add that he'd rather have nothing to do with Donnellan. Luckily, the indifference was not reciprocal!

Gazdar, G. (1979). Pragmatics: Presupposition, Implicature, and Logical Form. New
York: Academic Press.

---- PhD, Dept. of Philosophy, Reading Univ.

Grandy, R. (1989). On Grice on Language. Journal of Philosophy, 514–525.

--- I love to quote this in full: since this had Jonathan Bennett chairing a thing rather pompously called, "Seminar on the thought of Paul Grice". This was for the American Philosophical Association, hence the irrelevance or over-informativeness of "the thought of Paul Grice", as opposed to, say, the "eyes of Paul Grice."

--- and so on. (Metaphysically more interesting is: Symposium on the Laughter of Paul Grice." Participants were: Baker, Grandy, Warner, and my favourite philosopher in MIT: Stalnaker!)


Grice, P. (1941). Personal Identity. Mind, 50 (1941), 330–350; reprinted in J. Perry (ed.),
Personal Identity. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1975, 73–95.

Grice, P. (1957). Meaning. Philosophical Review 66, 377–388.

---- Grice dates this 1948. I follow suit!


Grice, P. (1961). The Causal Theory of Perception. Proceedings of the Aristotelian
Society, suppl. vol. 35, 121–52.

---- this was a meeting at Cambridge. Chair was Braithwaite. Co-symposiast was A. R. White. It should be FORBIDDEN to reprint this unless it's in full. I always pity White. It was Warnock who reprinted the whole thing in full. And now Bayne, in his site. I find White's reply very charming, if slightly boring. He, like Armstrong, is an Autralian philosopher.


Grice, P. (1968). Utterer’s Meaning, Sentence Meaning and Word Meaning. Foundations
of Language 4, 225–242.

---- I like to think Grice submitted this to this VERY OBSCURE journal because his friend, Dutch author J. D. Staal, was in the editorial board!

Grice, P. (1969). Vacuous Names. In D. Davidson and J. Hintikka (eds.), Words and
Objections. Dordrecht: Reidel, 118–145.

---- This was Davidson's idea. Apparently, Grice's piece came latest, and hence, not repr. in Synthese.

Grice, P. (1969a). Utterer’s Meaning and Intentions. Philosophical Review 78, 147–177.

--- Grice chose this journal, because it was Strawson's choice back in 1956, when he, without telling Grice, got "Meaning" inside and envolope and submitted to the review. Lady Ann Strawson typed it. Grice was only communicated (if not meant) later on.

Grice, P. (1970). Lectures on Logic and Reality. University of Illinois at Urbana.

--- now in The Grice Collection. Also known as "How pirots karulise elatically: some simpler ways." This is a transcript. We'll never know if he favoured the spelling, 'karulise', or 'carulise', or 'carulize', for that other matter.

Grice, P. (1971). Intention and Uncertainty. Proceedings of the British Academy, 263–
279.

Grice, P. (1975). Method in Philosophical Psychology: From the Banal to the Bizarre.
Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association (1975) 23–
53.

--- now in 1991, as Neale notes.

Grice, P. (1975a). Logic and Conversation. In P. Cole and J. Morgan (eds.), Syntax and
Semantics, vol. 3: Speech Acts. New York: Academic Press, 41–58.

---- Lakoff likes to think he is the one who got this here. Grice always quoted from the rather more ordinary philosophical reprint (two-column format, typical textbook thing) in Harman/Davidson.

Grice, P. (1978). Further Notes on Logic and Conversation. In P. Cole (ed.), Syntax and
Semantics, vol. 9: Pragmatics, New York: Academic Press, 113–128.

Grice, P. (1981). Presupposition and Conversational Implicature. In P. Cole (ed.), Radical
Pragmatics. New York: Academic Press, 183–198.

Grice, P. (1986). Reply to Richards. In R. Grandy and R. Warner (eds.), Philosophical
Grounds of Rationality. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

--- of course the acronym comes in full with

P aul Grice hilosophical
G rice rounds of
R ice ationality
I ce ntentions
C e ategories
E ends

Clarendon objected: "Grice does not sell". This is ambiguous: Barbara Grice does sell.

Grice, P. (1991). The Carus Lectures, Oxford: Clarendon Press.
---- The conception of value.

Harman, G. (1974). Review of Meaning by S. Schiffer. Journal of Philosophy 70, 7.

---- this is substantial. Neale will later collaborate with Schiffer closely. Harman proposes some criticisms to Schiffer, which Grice would call 'post-Schifferian'.

Harnish, M. (1976). Logical Form and Implicature. In T. Bever et al. (eds.), An
Integrated Theory of Linguistic Ability. Crowell: New York, pp. 313–391.

--- on 'and' reduction, amongst other zillion fascinating bits. My favourite Arizona professor.

Hugly P., and C. Sayward (1979). A Problem About Conversational Implicature.
Linguistics and Philosophy 3, 19–25.

--- not much of a problem to me! Pretentious title!

Jackson., F. (1988). Conditionals. Oxford: Blackwell.

Keenan, E. (1976). The Universality of Conversational Implicature. Language in Society
5, 67–80.

---- She is Ochs, maiden name. E. O. Keenan, as I like to quote her. In Pennsylvania, she was pretty influential. She thinks Malagasy speakers are anti-Griceian.

Kempson, R. (1975). Presupposition and the Delimitation of Semantics. Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press.

--- She created Dynamic Syntax, and loved it!

Kripke, S. (1977). Speaker Reference and Semantic Reference. In P. A. French, T. E.
Uehling, Jr., and H. K. Wettstein, Contemporary Perspectives in the Philosophy of
Language. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 6–27.

--- he thinks he is Griceian. Stampe and Patton have criticised his Griceian considerations.

Leech, G. (1983). Principles of Pragmatics. London: Longman.

--- He is from Gloucester. Educated London. He likes his Grice. Made Grice very popular in Lancaster.

Levinson, S. (1983). Pragmatics. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

--- He went on to write a many-page book on Implicature. A gem.

Lewis, D. (1969). Convention. Cambridge: Harvard University Press.
Lewis, D. (1975). Languages and Language. In K. Gunderson (ed.), Language, Mind, and
Knowledge. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, pp. 3-35.

Loar, B. (1981). Mind and Meaning. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

---- a genius, from Los Angeles's most interesting private university. He has Oxonian pedigree, too, having studied with Warnock. His DPhil thesis on "Sentence meaning".

McDowell, J. (1980). Meaning, Communication, and Knowledge. In Z. van Straaten
(ed.), Philosophical Subjects. Essays Presented to P. F. Strawson. Oxford:
Clarendon Press.

---- a genius. I like to say that Peter Strawson, qua name, allows for a less rich acronym:

P philosophical peter
S subjects strawson.

This is a festchrift for Strawson, then.

Mackie, J. (1973). Truth, Probability, and Paradox. Oxford: Clarendon Press.

Nagel, T. (1979). Mortal Questions. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

--- Nagel was Grice's favourite student back at St. John's.

Neale, S. (1990). Descriptions, Cambridge: MIT Press.
Posner, R. (1980). Semantics and Pragmatics of Sentence Connectives in Natural
Language. In J. R. Searle et al (eds.), Speech Act Theory and Pragmatics. Dordrecht:
Reidel, 169–203.

Rawls, J. (1971). A Theory of Justice. Cambridge: Harvard.

---- Oddly, Rawls quotes from Grice's "Personal identity". This made Grice popular in Oxford among those styding 'reasons and persons': Parfit, etc.

RĂ©canati, F. (1986). Defining Communicative Intentions. Mind and Language 1, 213–
242.

Ryle, G. (1949). The Concept of Mind. London: Hutchison.

--- Grice quotes him in "Intention and disposition", the Grice papers. A fascinating paper. Of course, Grice was anti-Rylean. Grice was a functionalist, not a behaviourist.

Sadock, J. (1978). On Testing for Conversational Implicature. In In P. Cole (ed.), Syntax
and Semantics, vol. 9: Pragmatics, New York: Academic Press, 281–298.

Schiffer, S. (1972). Meaning. Oxford: Clarendon Press.

---- he continued with his "Remnants of meaning". Russell Dale has elaborated on this.
SCHIFFER to Grice: I have a new book in print. It will be critical of you. (paraphrasis).
GRICE: I haven't precisely kept still myself.

Searle, J. (1979). Referential and Attributive. The Monist 62, 140–208. (Reprinted in
Expression and Meaning. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1983, 137–161.)

--- There's also Searle in PGRICE, Grandy/Richards, and a few of other Griceian papers of interest. His attempt and failure at a speech-act theory of conversation is charming -- "Speech acts and conversation" -- and his collaboration with Vanderveken a jewel.

Stenius, E. (1967). Mood and language-Game. Synthese 17, 254–274.

---- a good reference. Grice would quote from these authors: e.g. 'alethic' he borrowed from von Wright. Stenius on 'radical' and 'radix', etc.

Strawson, P. (1950). On Referring. Mind 59, 320–344. Reprinted in Strawson’s Logico-
Linguistic Papers. London: Methuen, 1971, 1–27.

Strawson, P. (1986). ‘If’ and ‘⊃’. In R. Grandy and R. Warner (eds.), Philosophical
Grounds of Rationality. Oxford: Oxford University Press, pp. 229–242.

--- repr. in his own collection! Grice dates this 1968, and it shows: Strawson refers to Grice's "Logic and Conversation" as being "unfortunately unpublished". It cannot be 1986, when the whole world was talking 'converational implicature'!

Suppes, P. (1986). The Primacy of Utterer’s Meaning. In R. Grandy and R. Warner
(eds.), Philosophical Grounds of Rationality. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 109–
129.

--- I like him. Dengler knows him well, Stanfordite that he is.

Walker, R. (1975). Conversational Implicatures. In S. Blackburn (ed.) Meaning,
Reference and Necessity. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 133–181

--- this challenged Cohen to write, "Can the converationalist hypothesis be defended?" He thought it couldn't, but then he died.

Yu, P. (1979). On the Gricean Program about Meaning. Linguistics and Philosophy 3,
273–288.

--- I like to think of Grice as a channel, rather: with many programmes broadcast by it.

Cheers!
