Annotation

B. proposes an alternative to the theories of meaning in which the notion 'intention' is central (e.g. H.P. Grice's and J.R. Searle's theories of meaning). B. contends that acts of meaning can be analyzed with reference to the concept of meaning as evidence instead of meaning as intending.
