DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract:</strong>&nbsp\;Moore&rsquo\;s paradox is induced by the infelicity of sincere assertions of&nbsp\;certain forms. I call them &ldquo\;Moore paradoxical forms.&rdquo\; They involve a&nbsp\;conjunction of an indicative sentence and a present-tense first-person&nbsp\;psychological verb scoping over the same indicative sentence. Several&nbsp\;psychological verbs are often used in Moore paradoxical forms:&nbsp\;&ldquo\;believe\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;know\,&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;be certain.&rdquo\; It remains unsettled what makes&nbsp\;assertions of Moore paradoxical forms infelicitous. Some attempt to&nbsp\;explain their infelicity by appealing to either a norm of belief or a&nbsp\;norm of assertion. In this talk\, I explore what can be said about&nbsp\;norms of belief and assertion in Japanese by considering the Japanese&nbsp\;counterparts of Moore paradoxical forms and other related linguistic&nbsp\;phenomena. First\, I suggest that\, due to specific features of&nbsp\;Japanese\, there are circumstances in which Moore paradoxical forms may&nbsp\;not be treated in a parallel fashion between English and Japanese.&nbsp\;Second\, this exploration also reveals different pragmatic functions of&nbsp\;&ldquo\;I believe&rdquo\; in Japanese. Finally\, I argue that it is difficult\, if not&nbsp\;impossible\, to use Moore&rsquo\;s paradox to motivate a norm of belief or&nbsp\;assertion.</p>
