Lt. Collet considers that Captain B. Fache plays too much control to capture Longdon and
Naveu. Therefore, both sentences share the same background understanding which means that the order of
entailment is formed by the background. The same background information can be seen on
don’t let anybody breath
and control everything. Both words share the same understanding in a context. Moreover, the idea of the first
sentence is sharpened on the second sentence, so the suitable approach to detect the entailment here is
contexted clause.
43. Naveu:
Your God doesn’t forgive murderers. He BURNS them.
√ √
√ Silas was going to murder Naveu, so Naveu convinced
him by uttering those sentences. One-way entailment can be seen from the truth of God burns them means God does
not forgive murderers. However, if God does not forgive
murderers, He would also do something else to the murderers; not just burning them. Naveu stresses the word
burns as she wants Silas to be afraid and stop his attempt
to kill her. Therefore, the entailment of the sentences is detected by applying contexted clause approach because
there is flattening in the sentences. 44. Leigh Teabing: Mary Magdalene
lived out her days in hiding. And the
zealots pursued her still even in
death, trying to destroy proof of her existence.
But she always had her KNIGHTS.
Brave men sworn to defend her.
√ √
√ But she always had her KNIGHTS
paraphrases Brave men sworn to defend her
because both has mutual entailment relationship. If she always had her knights is true; the
Brave men sworn to defend her is also true and vice versa.
Teabing stresses the word knights as he will give an explanation about it on the following sentence. Therefore,
the first sentence is explained more on the second

sentence in which flattening happens. The occurrence of flattening triggers the application of contexted clause
approach to detect the entailment.
45. Longdon: A knight whose funeral was presided over by the Pope
.
Leigh Teabing: Of course, the PRIORY knights were not just any
knights. √
√ √
If A knight whose funeral was presided over by the Pope, the PRIORY knights were not just any knights.
In opposite, if the PRIORY knights were not just any knights,
they are not only knights whose funeral was presided over by the Pope,
but they could be knights who didhad some other great things. It can also be seen from their
nickname: The Priory. That is why Teabing stresses their name as he wants the listeners to be more focused on it.
In addition, the idea of the first sentence is sharpened in the second sentence. The first sentence is the flattened
form of the second one, which is why contexted clause is used to observe the entailment.
46. Leigh Teabing: You and I, Robert, have observed history
. Time has been our glass.
We are in history now. Living it.
√ √
√ The entailment between the bold sentences can be seen as
both sentences have metaphorical relation. The word time in Time has been our glass means history because history
deals with time. Meanwhile, glass here means field in which both Teabing and Longdon have been observed.
The relationship between words in both sentences triggers the correlation background between them, and the
similarity understanding in the background order the existence of entailment. In line with the order, the
approach of entailment is also caused by the background context; both sentences contain the same context, and
explain each other. That is why contexted clause employed.

47. Lt. Collet: Ive LOST them. They flew to Switzerland.
√ √
√ Longdon, Naveu, and Sir Leigh Teabing have flown to
Switzerland while the policemen were chasing them in Paris. Lt. Collet tells Captain B. Fache and, stresses that
he lost them because they flew to Switzerland. Both sentences are entailed in one way as if they flew to
Switzerland, Lt. Collet lost them,
but if he lost them, they do not necessarily to fly to Switzerland; they could be
hiding anywhere. In addition, the first sentence is more explained on the second sentence in which the entailment
is detected by contexted clause approach.
48. Capt B. Fache: His name was Robert Langdon. He said I
couldnt imagine the evil in this mans heart.
√ √
√ If his name was Robert Longdon, Bishop Aringarosa must
have said that he couldnt imagine the evil in this mans heart
, and if Bishop Aringarosa said that he couldnt imagine the evil in this mans heart,
the man referred must be Longdon. In this context, Bishop Aringarosa does not
like Longdon, and he slanders Longdon as the suspect of four murders. As a result, the sentences are mutually
entailed as both are paraphrasing one another. Moreover, the order of entailment can be seen in the background as
there is interconnectedness between the thickened sentences. The interconnectedness is made of Bishop
Aringarosa opinion. To add, the detection is using contexted clause approach as the first sentence is flattened
in the second sentence.
49. Leigh Teabing: Inspector, I cant afford the time to indulge your
games. Im LATE and Im leaving. √
√ √
If Teabing cant afford the time means he is late, and if he is late he cannot afford the time
. The relation of both sentences is one-way entailment as both sentences are
paraphrase. The foreground order of entailment can be
