Grice on French Poetry

Well, not really -- but my marginalia on Chapman, p. 50.

She fails to quote from Grice, "Aristotle on the multiplicity of being" where he wonderfully concludes with a discussion of 'French' poetry:

A French poem

can mean

-- by a French citizen, a poem
-- by any citizen (of any place) written in _French_.
-- other.

-- cfr. Clinton, "Depends on what you mean by 'between'" (Jones is between Smith and Williams).

These Grice terms 'pragmatic' or 'contextual ambiguity' in 1988 op. cit, Aristotle essay. Still an uniguist, I trust.

The Aristotle paper is especially profoundER than the early notes by Grice Chapman rightly cares to include! (And discussed in "Grice, Uniguist")
