other suspects , but in this case, she adds the word even to
strengthen her statement, and to seek Longdon‟s attention towards this sentence. The addition of word even in
Naveu‟s first sentence indicates that the order of entailment is foreground-clefting. Furthermore, the words
suspect is interrelated to the word guilty, but suspect does
not mean guilty. From both words, entailment can be detected using context matching approach.
20. Longdon: I hope not. Any Priory story ends in bloodshed. They were
butchered by the Church. It all
started over a thousand years ago when a French king conquered the
holy city of Jerusalem. This crusade, one of the most massive and
sweeping in history was actually orchestrated by a secret brotherhood,
the Priory of Sion and their military arm, the Knights Templar.
√ √
√ Any Priory story ends in bloodshed
entails They were butchered by the Church
in one way because if any Priory were butchered by the Church, their story ends in
bloodshed. However, if their story ends in bloodshed, it
does not mean that the Church butchered them. 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 from the words bloodshed and butchered. Both words share the same understanding, but cannot substitute
one another. Moreover, both words also indicate that the entailment can be detected by context matching approach.
21. Naveu: But the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land.
Longdon: That was a cover to hide their true goal, according to this
myth. √
√ √
If the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land, the Templars must be a cover to hide The priory of Sion‟s
true goal. In opposite, if the Templars are a cover to hide The priory of Sion‟s true goal, they are not always created
to protect the Holy Land. That is why the entailment of the sentences is considered as one-way. Furthermore, both
sentences share the same knowledge which makes them containing background order. The background order is

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.
