Tacit belief, semantics and grammar
Linguistics and Philosophy 27 (1):57-91 (2004)
| Abstract | This paper explores speakers'' epistemic access to the semanticand syntactic features of sentences of their language. I argue that there is evidence that ceteris paribus, the actual semantic features of sentences of a language are accessible as such by typical speakers of that language.I then explore various linguistic, cognitive, and epistemic consequences of this position. | |||||||||
