Mention philosophy: the mention of linguistic objects must be distinguished from their use. This distinction is sometimes difficult when symbols are partly used and partly mentioned within logical formulas. One simple case of a mention of a word or phrase is the quote. See also object language, metalanguage, quote, reference, occurrence, type, token.

J.R. Searle on Mentioning - Dictionary of Arguments

V 116F
SearleVsRussell: Russell's distinction between mention and >use
is too strict.

VI 194
Example:
Pragmatic analysis/Ross: further development: certain elements are present in the context of the speech act and syntactic processes can refer to them.
VI 195
SearleVs: this hardly differs from performative analysis.
SearleVsRoss: confusion of mention and use: Ross confuses the speaker with the "I" that refers to him, the listener with the "you", and the acts with the verbs they indicate.
VI 196
Of course, the formulation of the rules that mention speakers, listeners and acts will use these expressions.
Ross makes this mistake because he is under the spell of assuming that the rules should only mention syntactic elements. If we abandon this, our alternative theory will become easier:
1. We use independently motivated semantic and "pragmatic" knowledge.
2. We do not have to postulate erased syntactic elements.
