This paper exploits recent work on the normative and constitutive roles of knowledge in practical rationality, to put pressure on the idea that speakers could communicate without exploiting linguistic knowledge. I defend cognitivism about meaning, the view that speakers have rationally accessible (i.e., implicit rather than tacit) knowledge of semantic facts and principles, and that this knowledge is constitutive of their linguistic competence.

（隐式）知识、原因和语义理解

本文利用最近关于知识在实践理性中的规范性和构成性作用的研究，对说话者可以在不利用语言知识的情况下进行交流的想法施加压力。我捍卫关于意义的认知主义，认为说话者对语义事实和原则具有合理的（即隐含的而不是默认的）知识，并且这种知识构成了他们的语言能力。
