Intention/meaning: e.g. anger: anger may partly result from the fact that the L (the listener) believes that S (the speaker) intended to annoy the other one! Belief in intention: the belief in intention is a partial cause of anger. Grice: but not partial reason.
>Reasons.
II 30 ff
E.g. exam: the candidate utters: "The Battle of Waterloo was in 1816."
The candidate means this, but his/her intention is not that the examiner believes that.
>Meaning (Intending).
