VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Gricean and Improper Descriptions Author: Mephster [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:44:19 08/31/01 Fri In reply to: Flannel 's message, "Raises hand." on 13:28:26 08/29/01 Wed I don't know that I am satisfied with the Gricean and other strategies (Ellipsis, Domain Selection) either. This stuff makes my head hurt. We're reading Larson and Segal's "Knowledge and Meaning" and Gary Osterag's "Definite Descriptions." Apparently my prof is co-editing a book with Margo Reimer ("Descriptions and Beyond" Oxford U. Press 2002) and we are the guinea pigs for it. *miserable look* [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
