It's not a word I use often, 'paleo-Gricean' (I coined it) but when I was writing my PhD dissertation I read _so much_. I came across this ref. to
SAYCE
-- Actually I keep the blooming book at the Swimming-Pool Library!
The man taught Assyrian Studies, as they then weren't -- at Oxford. But I wrote his name on the marginal notes to my Chapman, when she discusses 'origin of language' theories. It's not the pooh-pooh, but the he-ho-hee, as per other entry to this blog.
Enjoy!
It's A. H. Sayce and it's Philology -- the book. And it's all about the interjectional and utterance-natural-based origin of human articulation!
