The Reminder about Reminding

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the verb [something1] reminds [something2] treated as an epistemic predicate. She discusses presentations of its meaning by means of the expression 'podobny' ('similar'), while 'podobieństwo' ('similarity'), usually considered as a possibility to adjust the same qualities to some objects, is related to knowledge (things are similar if what can be known about one of them has a part in common with what can be known about the other). In the study, this is knowledge coming from direct experience, not deduced, not an outcome of epistemic operations of the subject. The final part offers a representation of the meaning of the verb under discussion. It takes into account both contexts with epistemic subject revealed on the surface, and those, in which knowledge is imputed to a non-indicated subject, though its occurrence is suggested by semantic structure of the predicate.
