Utterer's Meaning and Intention
Abstract
(la) It would be approximately true to say that S means (has as one of its meanings) If I shall then be assisting the kind of thing of which lawns are composed to mature, I shall have no time for reading. It would also perhaps be approximately true to say that S means (has as another of its meanings, in at least one version of English) If I shall then be assisting the marijuana to mature, I shall have no time for reading. Such meaning-specification I shall call the specifications of the timeless meaning(s) of a complete utterance-type (which may be a sentence or may be a sentencelike nonlinguistic utterance-type, such as a hand-signal). (I b) It would be true to say that the word grass means (loosely speaking) lawn-material, and also true to say that the word grass means marijuana. Such meaning-specifications I shall call the specifications of the timeless meaning(s) of an incomplete utterance-type (which may be a nonsentential word or phrase, or may be a nonlinguistic utterance-type which is analogous to a word or phrase).

“Comprehenders continually make inferences about what speakers are intending to convey (Grice, 1969; Crain & Steedman, 1985; Sedivy, Tanenhaus, Chambers, & Carlson, 1999; Levinson, 2000; Sedivy, 2002), both and what their utterances may mean on literal and pragmatic levels.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
