摘要

Rendering understanding as a general causal account is problematic. This leads us toward accusations of partial understanding, or illusory understanding, characterized by understanding that lacks depth. The discourse comprehension literature offers an alternative: rendering understanding as the construction of a situation model, a model that integrates knowledge, purpose, and context. On this account, the question is never whether understanding is complete, but whether it is adequate for what it aims to achieve.
