Lying versus misleading, with language and pictures: The adverbial account

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
We intuitively make a distinction between lying and misleading. On the  explanation of this phenomenon favored here—the adverbial account—the distinction  tracks whether the content and its truth-committing force are literally  conveyed. On an alternative commitment account, the difference between lying and  misleading is predicated instead on the strength of assertoric commitment. One lies  when one presents with full assertoric commitment what one believes to be false;  one merely misleads when one presents it without full assertoric commitment, by  merely hinting or otherwise implying it. Now, as predicted by the well-supported  assumption that we can also assert with pictures, the lying/misleading distinction  appears to intuitively show up there too. Here I’ll explain how the debate confronting  the two accounts plays out both in general and in that case, aiming to  provide support for the adverbial account.
