我们调查了哲学家关于“知道”频率的说法。我们的调查有几个相互重叠的目的。首先，我们的目标是证明哲学家关于哲学上有趣的表达的不同用法的比较频率的说法需要什么。其次，我们的目标是展示如何使用语言语料库作为研究意义的工具是一种富有成效的方法，从某种意义上说，它产生了关于语言使用的发现，如果哲学家们呆在“下午的扶手椅”里，用J.L.奥斯汀的话来说，他们会忽视这些发现。第三，我们讨论了迄今为止在哲学中被忽视的关于“知道”的意义的事实，目的是重新定位日常语言与哲学理论化的相关性的讨论。
We investigate claims about the frequency of “know” made by philosophers. Our investigation has several overlapping aims. First, we aim to show what is required to confirm or disconfirm philosophers’ claims about the comparative frequency of different uses of philosophically interesting expressions. Second, we aim to show how using linguistic corpora as tools for investigating meaning is a productive methodology, in the sense that it yields discoveries about the use of language that philosophers would have overlooked if they remained in their “armchairs of an afternoon”, to use J.L. Austin's phrase. Third, we discuss facts about the meaning of “know” that so far have been ignored in philosophy, with the aim of reorienting discussions of the relevance of ordinary language for philosophical theorizing.
