title = "Universal and language-specific aspects of {"}propositional attitudes{"}: Russian vs. English",
abstract = "In the linguistic literature inspired by the philosophical tradition, it is often assumed that the key distinction in the area of {"}propositional attitude{"} is that between {"}know{"} and {"}believe{"}. The Natural Semantic Metalanguage theory of language and thought a argues that while KNOW is a universal conceptual prime, {"}believe{"} is not. It posits THINK, not {"}believe{"} as a universal counterpart of KNOW The Moscow Semantic School posits primitives ZNAT' (KNOW) and S{\v C}ITAT' (which has no exact English equivalent). This chapter argues that the use of {"}s{\v c}itat{"} – and {"}believe{"} asputative primes is unjustified. It supports THINK/DUMAT' as a universal conceptual prime and it shows that the use of this element as a prime leads to much better results than the use of {"}s{\v c}itat{"}.",
