I'm not sure what J.L.'s point is. But I did have third grade teachers who
sounded amazingly like him.
---- Excellent comment, D. M.! No, I'm _not_ your third-grade teacher! When I wrote that, I was having in mind: (*) S. R. Chapman's background _is_ "English Language". Her PhD (Newcastle, I think) and she holds the Chair of "English Language" at Liverpool. -- it _does_ amuse me, in an excellent way, that one could _Teach_ English like that! (*) I did not _mean_ to be pedantic, but to consider _logical_ possibilities. When I added the hateful (but well meant, "-s -- JLS") (And it took me four times of reading your post to realise you were focusing on _that_! :)), I was, again metarepresentationally, having in mind Mike Harnish on logical form and conjunction reduction --- consider Chapman on Grice's collaborations [but I cannot find the cite right now] and Harnish's examples which of course we can extend -- to (to be relevant) Sperber & Wilson, "Relevance" Wilson & Sperber --- To this, Harnish adds: This is _implicatural_: "Whitehead and Russell wrote _Principia_" (their example) So whose theory? I'm glad D. M. Donovan noted the point! I just hope that someone may dissimplicate it for me, rather than explicate it! Cheers, J. L. Speranza The Swimming-Pool Library Bordighera -- where they speak better English than the English! :) -- sorry I deleted your -IZER at the end because I failed to decode your implicIture! **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
