Responses on behalf of EC to such arguments vary. Commenting on Stanley, Barbara Partee (2004) agrees that ‘know’ is indeed unlike expressions such as ‘tall’, but that perhaps better models are available. Nikola Kompa (2002) suggests that the context-sensitivity of ‘know’ is best understood as deriving from a sui generis sort of “unspecificity”. And Rob Stainton (2010), while sympathetic to the claim that ‘know’ is not itself context-sensitive, believes that the “spirit” of EC can be saved: if there are pragmatic determinants of what is stated/asserted, then what is stated (/etc.) in different uses of ‘knowledge’ sentences can vary in truth-conditional content, even if ‘know’ is not context-sensitive. (Here, there is a connection between EC and its philosophy-of-language namesake, mentioned in Section 2. On one formulation of the latter, as a quite general matter “what is said” is importantly determined by extra-semantic factors. A similar connection is evident in Charles Travis’ 2005 paper.)
