Knowledge by inferences : semantically incomplete descriptions of territories and identities in history textbooks
Justin, Janez, 1951-2013
Linguistic utterances are the most common means of transportation we use for what can be characterised as social transmission of knowledge. Among various kinds of linguistic utterances there is one ...kind that occupies a central place: assertions. An assertion can be viewed as consisting of different sorts of assumptions. Some of the assumptions are explicitly expressed; i.e. they are contained in what people actually tell each other. Other assumptions are implicitly conveyed, or implicated; i.e. they result from the activity in which people get other people to think something. We can think of a third set of assumptions that are neither expressed nor implicitly conveyed. These are the assumptions that an utterance encourages interpreters to use in the inference process without themselves ever being given the role of 'message'. The article provides some evidence for the idea that assumptions of this kind take part in inferential comprehension of pedagogical discourse. It also demonstrates the role these assumptions might have in the inference process aswell as the way in which they can affect the organisation of knowledge in the interpreter's long-term memory.
