|Current View=While an explicitly definition of the term is still to be suggested, epistemic elements are roughly understood as those semantic entities towards which an epistemic agent can take an epistemic stance. | |Current View=While an explicitly definition of the term is still to be suggested, epistemic elements are roughly understood as those semantic entities towards which an epistemic agent can take an epistemic stance. | ||
