LITERAL MEANING, so-called: Suppes on Chomsky on Grice

Speranza

Chomsky thinks 'literal meaning' INTRUDES. It never does!

Suppes:

"It would seem odd if someone were to ask me what I'm doing (he sees me writing an entry in my journal) and I were to reply:"

"I am writing an entry in my journal -- and with STRICT MEANING, but of course it is NOT SUPPOSED to 'communicate' anything."
Of course it communicates!
