Epistemic Heresies: Reply to John Collins’ Redux

Keywords: Linguistic competence; knowledge of language; linguistic theory as non-intentional; common-sense conception of competence as knowledge.
Summary/Abstract: Elaborating on views I have expressed elsewhere, I argue that the common-sense notion of linguistic competence as a kind of knowledge is both required by common-sense explanatory and justificatory practice and furthermore fully compatible with the non-intentional characterization of linguistic competence provided by current linguistic theory, which is itself non-intentional.
