Each time we take a turn in conversation we indicate what we know
and what we think others know. However, knowledge is neither static
nor absolute. It is shaped by those we interact with and governed
by social norms - we monitor one another for whether we are
fulfilling our rights and responsibilities with respect to
knowledge, and for who has relatively more rights to assert
knowledge over some state of affairs. This book brings together an
international team of leading linguists, sociologists and
anthropologists working across a range of European and Asian
languages to document some of the ways in which speakers manage the
moral domain of knowledge in conversation. The volume demonstrates
that if we are to understand how speakers manage issues of
agreement, affiliation and alignment - something clearly at the
heart of human sociality - we must understand the social norms
surrounding epistemic access, primacy and responsibilities.
