[edit] Sources needed

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)
