Speranza
From Dale's footnote to ch. ii, online, "Theory of Meaning", quoting form Lady Welby:
"...[Paul] distinguishes between usuelle Bedeutung, the generally accepted meaning of a word, and okkasionelle Bedeutung, the meaning which a speaker attaches to a word at the moment of utterance..." [p. 58].
--- short step to Grice's 'occasion-meaning'. Fome reason, Grice prefers the unidiomatic 'occasion' rather than the perhaps slightly pedantic 'occasional'. Or is it the other way round?
