Definitions
'knowledge'=df
Knowledge is the perception of the agreement, or disagreement, of two ideas.1
If you put the two slogans together [‘Everything is a social construction’ and ‘All awareness is a linguistic affair’], you get the claim that all our knowledge is under descriptions suited to our current social purposes.2
