Is KNOW a semantic prime? In other words, does “know” express a universal semantic primitive that is shared by all the corresponding verbs in languages of the world? The researchers of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM), part of whose project is to find such universal semantic primitives, think so. Recently, Gian Marco Farese, in his paper published in this journal, defended this view in relation to the Japanese knowledge verbs. Since one of his main targets was my own paper but he did not respond to the main part of its empirical data while misrepresenting another part of my data, I would like to clarify the point of my paper here.

复数的KNOW:对Farese的回应
知道是语义素数吗?换句话说,“知道”是否表达了世界语言中所有相应动词所共有的通用语义原语?自然语义元语言(NSM)的研究人员认为是这样的,他们的项目之一就是找到这样的通用语义原语。最近,吉安·马可·法雷塞(Gian Marco Farese)在该杂志上发表的论文中,捍卫了这种与日语知识动词有关的观点。由于他的主要目标之一是我自己的论文,但是他在歪曲我的数据的另一部分时没有对经验数据的主要部分做出回应,因此我想在这里澄清我的论文的重点。
