If there is someone who would like to give a bit of practical help with
language revision but also who volunteers criticism of the constructive
type, I will share with her/him my paper entitled

 Are explicatures cancellable?

Professor Burton-Roberts has commented on this paper for the second time
and I have incorporated his comments and responded to them.

Also if anyone has seen a good paper on the notion of semantic entailment,
please let me know.

According to Burton-Roberts Carston's definition of explicatures just
fails (Burton-Roberts's comments on my paper not expressed in other papers
seem really convincing).

I am inclined to still preserve that definiton - albeit I wonder what the
consequences for the overal theory are.

Well, we shall see.
