[edit]The summary provided in the article, beginning from "He distinguished between four kinds of content: encoded / non-encoded content and truth-conditional / non-truth-conditional content" may be correct as a logical reconstruction of Grice's theories, but it would be helpful to be directed to the place in Grice's work (if there is one) where he draws these actual distinctions. The same applies to the remainder of the summaries.
And the 'Criticism' section needs expansion, to include, e.g., Wayne A. Davis. It is misleading, surely, to say that Sperber and Wilson 'challenge' Grice's ideas, since they are so heavily dependent on them? 194.81.81.51 13:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, these aren't Grice's concepts at all, just distant relatives of them. Grice's key notions of meaning are "utterer's occasion meaning" (which is now most commonly called "speaker meaning"), timeless meaning (which is the kind of meaning possessed by utterance-types, including but not limited to words and sentences), and applied timeless meaning. These notions are enumerated in Logic and Conversation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.146.174 (talk) 21:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Grice's Maxims
[edit]Their should be a section in this article about Grice's Maxims. This is his notable theory of co-operation in convrsation. His Maxims are rules that Grice said should be followed in order to have a suucessful conversation, these maxims are: Quanitity, Relevance, Manner and Quality.--BusinessMan1 11:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Name
[edit]Did he ever publish anything as "Paul Grice"? Surely that should be "H.P. Grice"?KD Tries Again (talk) 15:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)KD Tries Again
- Yes. His book 'Studies in the Ways of Words' is published under that name. So is his contribution to the Grandy/Warner collection.109.148.117.29 (talk) 12:39, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Grice's Paradox
[edit]Could someone add a resolution to the paradox? It is inherently unobvious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.72.182 (talk) 02:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- It's about as deep as the "missing dollar riddle," if that helps. 66.166.67.2 (talk) 00:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
