<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recall that Nepali (verb-final language) has a
set of verb-final evidentials which mark things such as whether the evidence was
obtained by seeing, etc. I forget if feeling is one of the senses that is marked
by that evidential system.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course, talking about cognition in English is
not handled only by "think". We also indicate our thinking by "see." I sense (!)
that "feel" is also included as a way to address cognition.</FONT></DIV>

<P>I am in Korea at the moment teaching a linguistics course at HanDong
<BR>University. Yesterday (here) one of my Korean colleagues said something
<BR>to me in English that set off a train of thought about how we express
<BR>deduction in English and other languages.<BR><BR>My colleague said "I feel
you do not know the way to the faculty <BR>building." In my mind (not my
heart) I flagged this up as a <BR>collocational clash of "feel" with "know".
As a native English speaker I <BR>would never use "feel" in this context, I
would use "think" or "believe" <BR>to express my deduction. But then I
thought, maybe for other native <BR>speakers of English it would be OK to say
"I feel you do not know the <BR>way to the faculty building." Maybe it is a
male/female thing. The <BR>Korean colleague who said this is female. Or
another possibility is that <BR>it is a politeness thing. Maybe the person who
said this is wanting to <BR>weaken the judgement by using "feel" instead of
"think".<BR><BR>Anyway, are there any native English speakers out there who
think/feel <BR>that "I feel you do not know the way to the faculty building"
is good <BR>grammatical English?<BR><BR>Are there any nonnative English
speakers out there who think/feel that <BR>"I feel you do not know the way to
the faculty building" is good <BR>grammatical English?<BR><BR>I would be
interested to know how a deduction is expressed in other <BR>languages. Would
you use the equivalent of "think" in English to express <BR>this or the
equivalent of "feel"?<BR><BR>John Roberts<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE>
