One important observation is that while ‘know’ is a stative verb, ‘recognize’ is an achievement verb. A second is that ‘recognize’ is knowledge entailing, both when combined with a complementizer phrase and when combined with a noun phrase. The behavior of the latter kind of construction is particularly subtle and is the main focus of this paper. This paper ends with an interesting puzzle about object recognition.philosophy of mindepistemologyknowledgeobject recognitionrecognitionachievement verbsJournal article2-s2.0-85143611501Published as ‘gold’ (paid) open accessOpenPUB0201095001
