H. Paul Grice: Paul Grice (1913 - 1988) was a British philosopher of language and mathemtaics. His most influential work is his theory of implicature, which describes how speakers and listeners communicate meaning beyond what is literally said. Grice's work has had a profound impact on the fields of linguistics, philosophy, and cognitive science. Major works are "Meaning" (1957), "Logic and Conversation" (1975), "Studies in the Way of Words" (1989).

E. Tugendhat on Grice - Dictionary of Arguments
I 269f TugendhatVsGrice: the speaker does not want to cause that.., or he would say "I want to cause... - He does not mean anything, he claims something. Vs: Grice does not consider self-talk. - Absurd: that self talk would have other truth conditions. - The communication function does not belong to the meaning, otherwise self-talk impossible. >Paul Grice, >Meaning, >Self-talk, >Communication. Meaning/TugendhatVsGrice: two possibilities: (a) correlative to understanding: then it is false that what a speaker wants to say with "p" is that he wants to effect...etc. that would rather want to say if he said "I want to effect etc." what he wants to say with "p" is assert that p. b) if you give Grice his terminology, so to speak, then you have to say that the function of an assertoric sentence, or the intention with which it is used, is not to mean something, but to assert something. >Speaker meaning, >Speaker intention, >Assertions, >Intention, >Intentionality, >Speaking._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
