H. Paul Grice on Meaning (Intending) - Dictionary of Arguments
I 2 Meaning/denoting: a) from meaning follows a fact (but not a name): e.g. "These spots mean measles". Denote/mean: other cases: b) a fact does not follow from signifying: e.g. ringing a bell three times means: the bus is full. But today it is not full. I 2 Here you cannot say that it was not measles, although the significance was such. b) From meaning does not follow a fact: I 3 E.g. Ringing a bell three times means that the bus is full. But today it is not full. - - - III 90ff Meaning/convention/saying/Grice: it shall be necessary and sufficient for the truth that "S meant" that p, even though it said for S that #p is not sufficient. >Meaning, >Speaker meaning, >Speaker intention, >Intention._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
