Knowledge-attributions, unlike paradigm cases of context-sensitive terms such as 'tall' or 'here,' lack the characteristic semantic features of indexicals or gradable adjectives that linguistically ground context-sensitivity.

Gradable adjectives(philosophy of language and linguistics): Words that describe qualities that come in degrees, like 'tall,' 'smart,' or 'cold.' Someone can be very tall, somewhat tall, or not very tall depending on context.
Knowledge-attributions(epistemology (the study of knowledge)): Statements where we say someone knows something, like 'Sarah knows that Paris is the capital of France.' The statement is examining how the meaning of these claims can shift depending on context.
context-sensitive(Used to describe terms like 'I' and 'left' whose reference shifts with the context of use.): A term whose semantic value or referent varies depending on features of the context of utterance, such as the identity or orientation of the speaker.
indexicals(Philosophy of language, semantics): Expressions whose reference depends on the context of utterance, such as 'I' or 'here'
