SIDONIO

 

Luigi Speranza – GRICE ITALO!; ossia, Grice e Sidonio: la ragione conversazionale dell’implicaturis – inplicatura Lewis/Short -- Roma – filosofia italiana – Luigi Speranza (Roma). Abstract. Grice: “When I coined ‘implicature,’ I had followed Austin’s advice of ‘going through the dictionary.’ Only this time I got hold of Lewis and Short’s Latin Dictionary, which has an entry for ‘in[sic]plicatura,’ as used by Sidonius. The reference is to the entanglements made by the peripatetics, so the quote was bound to amuse me!” -- Filosofo italiano. Sidonio Appolinare – follows a political career. He writes a number of letters in which he makes reference to philosophers and philosophical issues. He claims, for example, that Cleante di Assus bites his nails. Grice: “Implicature is a natural thing in Roman. You have -plicare, you add in-plicare, and then you conjugate!” – Keywords: inplicatura, implicatura, implicature, disimplicatura.
