Abstract

Abstract Several recent studies (see Knobe & Yalcin, 2014; Khoo, 2015; Marques, 2018; Kneer, 2021a) address linguistic retraction from an experimental perspective. In these studies, speakers’ intuitions regarding the mandatory nature of retraction are tested. Pace MacFarlane, competent speakers (of English) do not consider retraction to be obligatory. This paper examines two methodological features of the above-mentioned studies: they do not take into consideration the difference between public and private contexts; neither do they incorporate the distinction between evaluative and descriptive statements. In this paper, we report the results of two studies conducted to empirically test the hypothesis that retraction is, above all, a public phenomenon. Our findings show that context exerts a significant effect on speakers’ attitudes toward retraction.

在公共场合撤回

最近的几项研究(见Knobe &Yalcin, 2014;邱,2015;品牌,2018;Kneer, 2021a)从实验角度探讨语言撤回。在这些研究中，说话者关于强制收回的直觉被测试。流利的(英语)讲话者并不认为收回原文是必须的。本文考察了上述研究的两个方法论特征:它们没有考虑公共和私人背景之间的差异;它们也没有区分评价性陈述和描述性陈述。在本文中，我们报告了两项研究的结果，这些研究是为了实证检验撤回首先是一种公共现象的假设。研究结果表明，语境对说话人的撤回态度有显著影响。

期刊介绍： Synthese is a philosophy journal focusing on contemporary issues in epistemology, philosophy of science, and related fields. More specifically, we divide our areas of interest into four groups: (1) epistemology, methodology, and philosophy of science, all broadly understood. (2) The foundations of logic and mathematics, where ‘logic’, ‘mathematics’, and ‘foundations’ are all broadly understood. (3) Formal methods in philosophy, including methods connecting philosophy to other academic fields. (4) Issues in ethics and the history and sociology of logic, mathematics, and science that contribute to the contemporary studies Synthese focuses on, as described in (1)-(3) above.
