H.P. Grice on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
II 36 Def M-intention/Grice: "that H intends to do this-and-that" instead of "that H does such-and-such." This is an intentional act. II 38 The candidate means that Waterloo was in 1815, but he does not intend that the teacher believes that II 44 Def #-psi/terminology/Grice: #-psi is a mode indicator that is correlated with the propositional attitude psi from a given range of propositional attitudes. H is to actively "psi" that p - Exceptions: "Do not go past the border": H himself should have the intention. - - - III 102 R-correlation stands for: referential correlation. D-correlation stands for: denotational correlation. III 103 Difference reference/denotation: Peter's dog is an R-correlate of "Fido". Every thing with long fur is a D-correlate of "shaggy". Resulting method: for S "Fido is shaggy" means the same as "Peter’s dog has long fur". III 104 Problem: the "designated pair" between Fido/Peter's dog (not cat). What is the meaning of "designated"? III 105 The situation may be brought about accidentally where sentences mean something else - this complementary relationship can only be eliminated by the condition of the intention to make a difference. - - - Cohen I 395 Def conversationalist hypothesis/CH/Grice: the meaning of the logical particles "~", "u", "v" and ">" is not different from the particles used in natural language. "And", "or", "if, then" and "not": where they appear inconsistent, this appearance is due to the different assumptions with which natural language utterances are usually understood. Cohen I 395ff Def semantic hypothesis (Cohen): many occurrences of logical particles in natural conversation differ from their meaning in formal contexts - although there are cases where they are consistent. Cohen I 402 Thesis: everyday languange meaning is richer than truth functional meaning. Cohen I 410 Image: "that is a tree". Assumption: it is a painted tree. Cohen I 412 Conversationalist hypothesis/Cohen: the conversationalist hypothesis assumes that the conversation implicature transmits that the antecedent is true only if the consequent is true._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
