Annotation

Sentence meaning, so the Gricean account runs, is to be explicated, or analyzed or elucidated in terms of speaker meaning, which is logically prior or conceptually more basic. Y. thinks that the Gricean program is fundamentally mistaken; he tries to bring out the nature of the mistakes in a perspicuous way.
