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.
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.
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)

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)
