520    The book develops the metaphysics of meaning along the 
       lines set up by Paul Grice, defining the three central 
       notions of what is meant, said and implicated. The Gricean
       notion of what is said is threatened by semantic 
       underdetermination: If the sentence underdetermines the 
       thought it is used to express, what is said cannot be the 
       proposition expressed by the sentence and meant by the 
       speaker. This leads to a number of questions: How far does
       semantic underdetermination reach? Do we have to extend or
       restrict the Gricean notion? Is what is said semantic or 
       pragmatic? Keeping these metaphysical.
