SUMMARY:(Not Necessarily Credible) Deniability
DESCRIPTION:'Plausible deniability' denotes a phenomenon whereby a speaker 
 who has uttered a sentence that carries an inference i can deny having int
 ended to communicate i. Plausible deniability appears most clearly in case
 s of insinuation\, such as when a speeding driver tries to bribe a police 
 officer by saying: 'Is there any way we can settle this right now?'. In th
 is talk\, we explore the concept of 'plausible deniability'. Our purpose i
 s mainly negative: we argue against various possible construals of 'plausi
 ble deniability'\, and specifically we focus on epistemic theories\, accor
 ding to which a speaker has deniability relative to i just in case they cr
 aft their message in a way that preserves uncertainty as to whether they r
 eally meant i. We finish by sketching an alternative\, normative view of d
 eniability.
