The pragmatics underlying H. P.
Grice’s analysis of utterance-meaning provide a powerful framework for
investigating the commitments arguers undertake.
Unfortunately, the complexity
of Grice’s analysis has frustrated appropriate reliance on this important facet
of his work.
By explicating Cicero’s use of apostrophe in his famous “First
Catilinarian” one may attempt to show that a full complex of reflexive
Gricean speaker intentions is essential to seriously saying and meaning
something.

management - Utterance-occasion meaning - Saying and meaning something
