Grice Notes

Speranza

And the plural of "Grice note" is "Grice notes" -- many (or -- as Grice would say, "at least more than one") Grice notes.

----

Does this hold?

It may be argued that

"Elephants are pinks"

does NOT entail (but merely implicates) that we are referring to "at least more than one" elephant.

G. J. Warnock discusses this in "Metaphysics in Logic", and P. F. Strawson makes a similar point somewhere in one of his "Grice notes" in the rather pretentiously entitled, "Introduction to Logical Theory".

Note that musically, 'grace notes' should be distinguished from a singular 'grace note' -- or not.
