Abstract for Ben Blumson, "British Journal"

"It is a platitude that whereas language is

mediated by convention, depiction is mediated by

resemblance. But this platitude may be attacked

on the grounds that resemblance is either insufficient

for or incidental to depictive representation. I defend

common sense from this attack by

using Grice's analysis of meaning to specify the

nonincidental role of resemblance in

depictive representation."


-- and you win, because both you and Grice are Genii!
