Not sure what the concept stands for in Carnap, but I'm SURE 'category' is a BASIC category in Grice!

Abstract:In 1929 Carnap gave a paper in Prague on "Investigations in General Axiomatics"; a brief summary was published soon after. Its subject looks something like early model theory, and the main result, called the 'Gabelbarkeitssatz', appears to claim that a consistent set of axioms is complete just if it is categorical. This, of course, casts doubt on the entire project. Though there is no further mention of this theorem in Carnap's published writings, his 'Nachlass' includes a large typescript on the subject, 'Investigations in General Axiomatics'. We examine this work here, showing that it provides important insights into Carnap's development during this critical period.

Jan Dejonzka does Carnap (He did Grice)
This below, because I have on record gone to great lengths of lovely conversation with this lovely author, so I'm sure what he says is fun -- and true!
Observational Ecumenicism, Holist Sectarianism: The Quine-Carnap Conflict on Metaphysical Realism
Authors:Dejnozka, Jan

REALISM
SECTARIANISM
Persons as Subjects:CARNAP, RUDOLF
QUINE, WILLARD VAN ORMAN
Abstract:Do any significant philosophical differences between Quine and Carnap follow from Quine's rejection of Carnap's analytic-synthetic distinction? Not if they both understand empirical evidence in merely observational terms. But it follows from Quine's rejection of the distinction that empirical evidence has degrees of holophrastic depth penetrating even into logic and ontology (gradualism). Thus, his reasons to prefer realism to idealism are holophrastically empirical. I discuss Quine's holist sectarian realism on private languages, externalism versus internalism, unobserved objects, unobservable abstract entities, bivalence, ecumenicism versus sectarianism, and on gradualism itself.

Carnap and Language: From Vienna to Santa Fé (in Slovak)

Document Type:Journal Article

Persons as Subjects:CARNAP, RUDOLF
CHURCH, ALONZO
Abstract:The paper reconstructs three main stages in the development of Carnap's approach to language in the years 1931-1947. It starts with Carnap's approach to metalogic in his Viennese 'Zirkelprotokolle' (1931) and his 'Logische Syntax der Sprache' (1934) from the point of view of one-level approach to the relation between metalanguage and its object language. It then analyzes Tarski's turn to semantics in his paper presented at the Paris conference in September 1935, as well as the implications of his view for Carnap's approach to semantics from 1935 until 1943. Finally, it analyzes Church's rediscovery of Frege and its impact on Carnap's shift to the extension/intension distinction in his semantics in the years 1943-1947.

Gustav Bergmann on Carnap and Grice
This bit below informs me that G. Bergmann belonged in the Vienna Circle. He referred to Grice as an "English futilitarian". I suppose he has nicer things to say about Carnap!

Blurb for Ostertag's book that combines Carnap and Grice
When I found that Ostertag had managed to reproduce only PART of Grice's 'Vacuous Names' in this expensive MIT book, I was SO disappointed... Anyway, he includes Carnap, too, and one wonders what section.
"The debate over the proper analysis of definite descriptions, which began with Bertrand Russell's classic essay, continues to this day. While it is now widely acknowledged that, like the indexical expressions "I," "here," and "now," definite descriptions in natural language are context sensitive, there is significant disagreement as to the ultimate challenge this context-sensitivity poses to Russell's theory. This reader is intended both to introduce students to the philosophy of language via the theory of descriptions, and to provide scholars in analytic philosophy with ready access to some of the central contributions in this area. It includes classic works by Russell, Carnap, Strawson, Lambert, Donnellan, Grice, Peacocke, Kripke, Wettstein, Soames, Neale, and Schiffer."
The book is "Definite descriptions: a reader", MIT, 1998.
