The subject of the paper are such types of utterances as Nie sądzę, że p, ja to wiem (I don t believe that p, I know it). In particular, interpretive controversies of this kind of utterances are discussed. The applied research method consists in a comparative analysis of the collected language material. Moreover, the present-ed extensive empirical material confirms the thesis that such utterances are indeed corrective. The conclu-sions from the analyses support the thesis that the classical definition of knowledge (of justified true belief) is internally contradictory due to the fact that verb wiedzieć, że_ (know that_) is defined by a non-factive verb być przekonanym, że_ (be convinced that_).
This article explores the connection between questions and conversational implicatures. We put forward a theoretical argument to the effect that questions can contain such implicatures. We also present extensive empirical material that confirms this hypothesis. The article focuses on a class of utterances used simultaneously to express an epistemic stance toward a state of affairs stated in a subordinate clause and to receive a response from an interlocutor, like in the following example: Don’t you think Peter should be going home now?
