GRICE, H PAUL

"The pragmatics underlying Grice's analysis of

utterance-meaning provide a powerful framework for

investigating the commitments arguers undertake."

"Unfortunately, the complexity of Grice's analysis

has frustrated appropriate reliance on this

important facet of his work."

"By explicating Cicero's use of apostrophe in

his famous "First Catilinarian" [I attempt] to show that

a full complex of reflexive Gricean speaker intentions

in essentially to seriously saying and meaning something."
