“1839 Oliver Beale Peirce: "The grammar of the English Language. What is a Principal asserter? It is one which, of itself, conveys the idea of the existence, action, or influence⟳ of some person or thing denoted by the word on which it depends for sense⟳; as I am; I love⟳; William writes; George studies. What is an Auxiliary asserter? It is one which, of itself, does not convey the idea of existence, action, or influence⟳ of the subject of remark⟳; but is joined to a principal to vary⟳ its meaning, and forms, with the principal, but one asserter; as, I shall love⟳. William has written. George will study⟳.”
“2015 Sanford C. Goldberg: Assertion. Pub. OUP All of this, taken together, appears to capture⟳ a sense⟳ in which the asserter represents herself as being epistemically authoritative regarding the proposition asserted”
