Abstract
Using the insights of neo-Gricean pragmatics, this paper analyzes the phrase four or five, with the meaning “a few,” in the Mishnah and the Tosefta. The different usages of the phrase in the two corpora support the view that the Mishnah is a more carefully crafted corpus, and more self-consciously directed toward application, than the Tosefta.
