Epistemologists of testimony have focused almost exclusively on the epistemic dynamics of simple testimony. We do sometimes testify by ways of simple, single sentence assertions. But much of our testimony is narratively structured. I argue that narrative testimony gives rise to a form of epistemic dependence that is far richer and more far reaching than the epistemic dependence characteristic of simple testimony.

叙事证词

证词的认识论者几乎只关注简单证词的认识论动态。我们有时会通过简单的单句断言来作证。但是，我们的大部分证词都是叙述性的。我认为，叙事性证词会产生一种形式的认知依赖，这种形式比简单证词的认知依赖特性更加丰富和广泛。
