格里安意旨主义者认为，说话者通过语言话语所说的和所指的是由说话者的交际意图决定的。从这个角度来看，一个人不能说任何没有意义的事情。然而，传统主义者认为，误用为这种说法提供了强有力的反例。我提出了两个反对传统主义的论点，并概述了一种新的格雷西亚语言错误理论，称为发音错误理论。从这一观点来看，误读被理解为发音错误的一种特殊情况。我认为Gricean理论得到了语音学和音韵学方面的实证研究的支持，同时，惯例主义不可避免地无法公正地完成这项工作。我由此得出结论，约定主义者未能证明误用构成了格里安理论的反例。
Gricean intentionalists hold that what a speaker says and means by a linguistic utterance is determined by the speaker’s communicative intention. On this view, one cannot really say anything without meaning it as well. Conventionalists argue, however, that malapropisms provide powerful counterexamples to this claim. I present two arguments against the conventionalist and sketch a new Gricean theory of speech errors, called the misarticulation theory. On this view malapropisms are understood as a special case of mispronunciation. I argue that the Gricean theory is supported by empirical work in phonetics and phonology and, also, that conventionalism inevitably fails to do this work justice. I conclude, from this, that the conventionalist fails to show that malapropisms constitute a counterexample to a Gricean theory.
