Implicature and Meaning-NN

Speranza

N. Allott, elsewhere, was suggesting that not all types of existential presupposition should be considered part of meaning-NN. I agree. Wright, in Cole/Morgan argued precisely just that: after all, what is implicated is PART of what is meant-NN.

In no place in "Logic and Conversation", however (WOW:II), is one forced to adopt the m-intentional theory of 'meaning'. This Grice does in later lectures, WoW:V notably).

But the point may relate to Jones's query about implicata and entailment (or 'conversational', pragmatic implication and logical implication, stricter).

Or not!
