摘　　要：规约含义通常是和格赖斯联系在一起的,但早在一百多年前,弗雷格就注意到了这一语言现象,并给它贴上了"含义的色彩"的标签。然而,一直以来,人们对规约含义的关注很少,有限的文献也几乎是一片质疑和批判之声。这也许和当初弗雷格只关心句子的逻辑命题,而格赖斯的讨论又不够系统、分析不够深入有关。本文追溯规约含义的哲学源头,分析由它引发的争议。溯其源头是为了认识其哲学价值,析其争议是为了呼唤更加全面深入的研究。Conventional implicature was introduced by Grice as a sister notion to conversational implicature.While conversational implicature has been widely appreciated and assigned a central place in the philosophy of language and pragmatics,conventional implicature has been largely ignored or criticized partly because Grice(1975,1989) did not offer an adequate analysis from the outset.This article traces the notion of conventional implicature to Frege(1892) and then presents a critical review of the contemporary debates over it.The discussion of its origins helps capture its philosophical significance.The critical review of the contemporary debates will revive our interest in this classical Gricean notion of speaker meaning.
