文摘

We examine the notion of mutual knowledge as an evidential category. Mutual knowledge is jointly constructed through linguistic interaction. We report Quechuan languages with 3-, 5-, and 6-choice evidential systems. The larger systems encode a contrast between individual and mutual knowledge. Diffusion of mutual knowledge gives rise to a type of general knowledge.
