Grices Doppelfehler. Ein Nachtrag zum Griceschen Grundmodell

This paper takes up again Grice's Basic Model ( GBM) for analysing communicative acts. We draw attention to a 'new' fault in GBM, i.e. a f ault not yet noticed in the literature: Grice's definiens for CA (= communicative att empt) is not only too weak (as it is not satisfying the reflexivity-condition according to which any CA implies the speaker's intention of CA's being understood by the hearer); it is also too strong - and just for the same reason.
