SUMMARY:Can we gettierize language understanding?
DESCRIPTION:According to the Epistemic View on language understanding\, to 
 understand a bit of language (a word\, a sentence\, a phrase) one has to k
 now its meaning. This view\, taken for a long time as a default stance in 
 philosophy of language\, has been recently criticized by several philosoph
 ers including Pettit (2002). Pettit offers a Gettier-style argument aiming
  to show that it is possible to understand a word without having knowledge
  of its meaning. The paper has two goals. First\, I discuss and dismiss a 
 counterexmaple offered by Green (2010) against Pettit&#39\;s case. Second\
 , I provide my own criticism of Pettit&#39\;s case. It is based on the obs
 ervation that in Pettit&#39\;s scenario the speaker learns a new word in a
  second language as a translation of a well known word of her native langu
 age. &nbsp\; &nbsp\;
