Este artículo muestra que una teoría modesta del lenguaje implica el conocimiento previo de un lenguaje cuando se intenta explicar el dominio de un lenguaje radicalmente desconocido. En segundo lugar, el artículo muestra que una teoría de interpretación radical, como solución al problema anterior, tiene implicaciones etnocentristas. Por último, el artículo propone la hipótesis de la "sensibilidad contextual" como solución al problema.

This paper shows first that a modest theory of language implies a previous knowledge of a language when trying to explain the grasp of a radically unknown language. Second, this paper shows that as a solution to the problem above, a theory of radical interpretation has ethnocentric implications. Finally, this paper proposes the hypothesis of "contextual sensibility" as a solution to the problem.
