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.

Jessica Brown is currently Arché Professor at the Arché Philosophical Research Centre at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. She has published extensively in epistemology and philosophy of mind, including her monograph, Anti-Individualism and Knowledge (MIT 2004). ; Herman Cappelen is Arché Professor at the University of St Andrews and a research director at CSMN, at the University of Oslo. He is the author of three books: Insensitive Semantics (Blackwell, 2004), Language Turned on Itself (OUP 2007), and Relativism and Monadic Truth (OUP 2009). He is co-author of The Inessential Indexical, with Josh Dever (OUP, 2013).
