"disimplicate" -- from "A Dictionary of Grice"

v. - introduced by Grice, elsewhere. To wit: lectures in the 1970s, cited by Chapman. She comments, "For some reason, Grice never pursued the idea", implicating that it was a stupid one, anyways (sic), but I disagree. The entries to this dictionary should be in one paragraph only, so sorry. To 'disimplicate' is not just 'not to implicate'. E.g. by saying 'no', Mary meant no. Nothing she can't disimplicate about it. Jenny is a different animal. "In twenty four languages she couldn't say 'no'" (The Saga of Jenny). Rather, to disimplicate has 'incorporated' negation. Grice was obsessed with 'entail', which Moore sort of coined -- as 'entailment' cfr. impliment, implicature. Basically, to disimplicate, for an utterer, on occasion, is to drop an entailment. If you say, "I know that 2 + 2 = 5" you are dropping the entailment that you only can know _true_ things. Thus, you are disimplicating. You are also being ridiculous, but that's neither here nor there. The notion of disimplicature, I trust, will be _the_ philosophical notion of the 21th century, as "implicature" was _the_ philosophical notion of the previous century. Etc. (J. L. S.)
