The main aim of this chapter is the analysis of the linguistic representation, the textual thematization and the discursive evaluation of ignorance and uncertainty. The main issue of the article is to propose a kind of a qualitative-hermeneutic methodology to consider and to take into account ignorance in discourse linguistics which is, so far, focused above all on knowledge. Following this purpose, the article scratches the different possible linguistic perspectives (e.g. semantics, text linguistics, stylistics, rhetorics, pragmatics and discourse analysis) and shows both the actual state of the art and research desiderata. Leading linguistics questions are, for example: What kind of role plays ignorance in specific discourses, especially in scientific ones? Which stylistic-rhetorical strategies are chosen by different actors when dealing with their own ignorance and that of others, also in comparison between written texts and spoken language? Which argumentative functions have the different linguistic representations of ignorance in different kind of genres and discourses? Which semantic concepts of ignorance and which evaluations result from texts and discourses?
