The Norms of Assertion
When we make claims to each other, we're asserting. But what does it take to assert well? Do we need to know what we're talking about? This book argues that we don't. In fact, it argues that in some special contexts, we can lie.
Assertion
The interdisciplinary nature of this book-length discussion on assertion will appeal to researchers across a number of fields. Its general approach presents a critical synthesis of the literature on assertion and is organised to reflect the various concerns that have led authors to consider this previously neglected topic.

Assertion is a fundamental feature of language. This volume will be the place to look for anyone interested in current work on the topic. Philosophers of language and epistemologists join forces to elucidate what kind of speech act assertion is, particularly in light of relativist views of truth, and how assertion is governed by epistemic norms.
