(A) References to _Relevance_:
(a) Leonardi (pp. 45, 51):
"My account is sympathetic to Grice's. [My] understanding
makes my account very far from that of Sperber & Wilson [... ]
who drastically simplify the logic and conversation apparatus
by Grice." (p. 45, ref. on p. 51).
(b) Neale (pp. 139, 180, 184):
[Re: 'disambiguation'] Sperber & Wilson ask
us to compare "I have had breakfast" and "I have
been to Tibet" -- different temporal domains are
needed for proper understanding). [...] The morals
from such examples are that the same sort of
principles that play a role in the theory of
conversational implicature ought to have an
equally important role in a theory that purports
to characterise the proposition straightforwardly
expressed by an utterance" (p. 139).
"It has been noted that aspects of what is said
(the content of a ground-floor speech act) must
often be worked out in [the manner of a conversational
implicature] (Note 11: See e.g. Sperber &
Wilson ... and Carston ...)" (p. 158, note on p. 181)
"There is a further complication for Grice: as
Sperber & Wilson ... have argued in detail, the
precise content of what U said -- and for that
matter what U conventionally implicated -- by
uttering a sentence that means "p" is often
underdetermined by the fact that the sentence
means "p"" (p. 180)
(c) Sbisa (pp. 192, 206):
[Re: Grice's example of Herod and Salome. Herod
has his guards bring the head of St John the Baptist
to Salome. Is Harod meaNNing something?] The
example is considered by Grice as a case of
meaNing, while others have maintained that it is a
case of meaNNing in which, contrary to Grice's
analysis, one of the three original Gricean conditions
is revealed to be superfluous (Sperber & Wilson, p.
29)" (p. 192, ref. on p. 206)
(d) Hanks (pp. 217, 234):
"One feature of what we call 'common sense' is that,
although it encyclopedic, it is not organised in any
fixed way. Rather, it's subject to ongoing reorganisation
according to the practical manner at hand. Here I
believe the emphasis placed on relevance by
Sperber and Wilson ... is on the mark. It is the
relevancy structure of my practical engagement
that determined which parts of my background
knowledge are put in play." (p. 217, note on p. 234)
(e) Bertuccelli-Papi (pp. 247, 281):
"Grice assumed without any further discussion
an idealised view of the speaker which Sperber and
Wilson later phrased as an 'efficient information
processing device', where the term 'information'
is restricted to _factual_ information." (p. 247)
"Sperber and Wilson have further stressed the
cognitive function of attitudes in determining the
proposition actually expressed by an utterance. [Quote
from _Relevance_, p. 74, follows] In Sperber &
Wilson's hypothesis, there are attitudes that are
marked off by a special form of _storage_: belief
is the most important attitude." (quote from _Relevance_,
p. 75, follows]." p. 251
