   Generalising, the difference between the two kinds of meaning is this: it is consistent with something's having non-natural meaning that what it non-naturally means is false; but it is not consistent with something's having natural meaning that what it naturally means is false.

   philosophy.stackexchange.com › questions › 16359

   Communication, non-natural meaning, is about the recognition and expression of intentions. Context plays a very important role here. As listeners, we normally use the context in which a sentence is used to extrapolate its meaning, in other words the intentions of the speaker.

   I am currently reading "Meaning" and "Logic and Conversation" by Paul Grice. I find it a little difficult to differentiate clearly between his concepts "natural meaning", "non-natural meaning", "conventional implicature" and "generalized conversational implicature". So far this is what I gathered:

   One criterion for distinguishing natural from non-natural uses of ‘means’ is that x meansn p entails p, whereas x meansnn p does not. E.g., the fact that that smoke means fire entails that there exists some fire, and the fact that her spots mean measles entails that she has measles.

   Natural and Non-Natural Meaning. Grice begins by making an important distinction between two species of meaning that it is particularly easy to confuse, which he labels natural meaning and non-natural meaning. (a) Those spots on your face mean you have measles.

   Such a semantics focuses on the use of language to communicate. Hence Grice begins with an attempt to isolate a particular kind of meaning, which he calls ‘communicative meaning’, or ‘nonnatural meaning’ (meaningNN). NATURAL VS. NON-NATURAL MEANING.

   What is the difference between natural and non-natural meaning?

   • The distinction between natural and non-natural meaning is, Grice notes, not always clear cut. The same entity can sometimes have both natural and non-natural meaning. Here is an illustration: The canyon-dweller's shout of ‘here comes an echo’ meant that we would hear an echo a few seconds later.

   How does Grice distinguish natural meaning and non-natural meaning?

   • Grice makes a distinction between two types of meaning, which he labels as natural meaning and non-natural meaning. The example given is: 'Those spots on your face mean you have measles'. This claim is true only if the italicized sub-sentence is true, i.e. only if you actually have measles.

   What are non linguistic parallels?

   • Non- linguistic parallels are obvious: context is a criterion in settling the question of why a man who has just put a cigarette in his mouth has put his hand in his pocket; relevance to an obvious end is a criterion in settling why a man is running away from a bull.

   What is natural meaning?

   • Natural meaning, by contrast, does not really have much to do with the meaning of words or utterances, and is in any case relatively non-mysterious. ‘ X means n that p ’ can be understood as a substitute for one or other of various simple phrases, including:

   Are explicit linguistic intentions rare?

   • Explicitly formulated linguistic (or quasi-linguistic) intentions are no doubt comparatively rare. In their absence we would seem to rely on very much the same kinds of criteria as we do in the case of nonlinguistic intentions where there is a general usage.

   When the expressions are used in the kind of way in which they are used in the second set of sentences, I shall speak of the sense, or senses, in which they are used, as the nonnatural sense, or senses, of the expressions in question. I shall use the abbreviation "meansNN" to distinguish the nonnatural sense or senses.
