Abilities/superhuman/Dummett: our image of a super being that has direct insight into counterfactual things does not provide a picture of what these abilities actually consist of. >Superhuman.

I 154/155
Meaning/competence/Dummett: meaning does not have to be explained by understanding! (Speakers have no explicit theory). - But also: DummettVsWittgenstein: control is more than a practical skill.

III (b) 68
Speech/control/propositional knowledge/Dummett: there is usually little difference between knowledge of P and knowledge of the truth of the sentence. >Judgments.
But propositional knowledge is not sufficient for language proficiency. - Propositiponal knowledge is not sufficient for word understanding.
Knowledge of a single proposition is not sufficient for understanding of words. - ((s) The word must be able to appear in several contexts.) - ((s) Converse to substitution principle).

III (c) 119
Translation theory/Dummett: does not explain the command of the native language.
III (c) 117f
Theory of meaning/Dummett: from a theory of truth (axioms like ""earth" denotates earth") - but meaning is more than knowledge of the axioms: Knowledge of the (corresponding) propositions. - From knowledge of the truth theory follows the ability of language as a whole, not sentence by sentence. -> Holism.
Knowledge of the propositions is not available in lists. >Lists, >Knowledge, >Propositional knowledge.
III (c) 133
Meaning Theory: Knowledge of reference is not sufficient for language proficiency.},
