I 271
Def Meaning (intending)/Tugendhat: narrower form of belief: when the speaker has no intentions beyond the outcome of this game.
Belief disposition is separable from it. One does not always mean p when one believes that p.
Belief: has causes.
>Beliefs.
Meaning: can have causes in addition to causes.
>Causes/reasons.
Meaning: is not the expectation that p can be proved to be true - (because meaning is expectation anyway).
To mean = intention to play (about this one can deceive the hearer).
>Cf. >Game-theoretical semantics.
Belief/Tugendhat: exists also in animals.
>Animals, >Theory of Mind.
