created because the first sentence is flattened in the second one, which is triggered the researcher to apply
contexted clause approach to detect the entailment. 22. Longdon:
By the 1300s, the Templars had grown too powerful.
Too threatening. Issued secret orders
to be opened simultaneously all across Europe.
The Pope had declared the Knights Templar Satan
worshipers, and said God had
charged him with cleansing the earth of these heretics.
The plan went off like CLOCKWORK.
The Templars were all but
exterminated. The date was
October 13
th
, 1307. A Friday. √
√ √
The plan went off like clockwork is a metaphor expression
which means that the Pope‟s plan to exterminate the Knights Templars passed successfully. So if The plan
went off like clockwork is true, then The Templars were all
but exterminated is also true, and vice versa. As a result,
metaphorical entailment is detected by the clauses which are in context: went off like clockwork and the Templars
were exterminated. In addition, Longdon stresses the word
clockwork because it is the most important word that the
hearer, Naveu, has to pay more attention.
23. Longdon: This cross and the flower,
this could be very old. But look. This metal here underneath is much
newer, and theres a modern ID stamp.
Haxo 24. And these dots.
These dots are read by a laser. This
is more than a pendant. This is a key your grandfather left you.
√ √
√ Longdon is holding Naveu‟s pendant on his hand, and he
says This is more than a pendant which entails his following sentence This is a key your grandfather left you.
The entailment can be seen from the truth of the first sentence influences the truth of the second sentence.
Therefore the second sentence can also be paraphrased to the first sentence. So, the both sentences are mutually
entail. Furthermore, the order of the entailment can be seen from the logical resemblance in the background of
the sentences. The background context of the second sentence is derived from the first sentence. That is why
the entailment is approached by contexted clause.
