Abstract
We have stated that communication is the passing on, or more generally, the exchange of knowledge. Based on the assumption that this exchange takes place against the background of the knowledge structure of speaker and hearer, we then undertook to analyse this knowledge structure more closely. This led us to the typology of knowledge discussed in the previous chapter. We now want to show that distinctions must be made with regard not only to the content of knowledge, but also to its state.
