SECOND CIRCULAR & CALL FOR PAPERS

The Department of English Philology I (English Language and
Linguistics) of the Complutense University of Madrid, and the research
project EUROEVIDMOD (FFI2011-23181), are pleased to announce the
International Conference on Evidentiality and Modality in European
Languages 2014 (EMEL’14), which will take place at the Facultad de
Filología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 6-8 October 2014.

EMEL’14 invites you to submit abstracts for general session or poster
papers on evidentiality and modality in European languages. The
conference also welcomes proposals for workshop sessions. The
conference aims to cover a broad range of research concerned with the
domains of evidentiality and modality, with special interest in
empirical work and crosslinguistic studies. Some proposed research
areas include:

- Epistemicity: relation between evidentiality and epistemic modality
- Cross-linguistic and typological studies on evidentiality
- Evidential lexical units and constructions and their relation to
evidential grammatical markers
- Types of evidentiality: Direct vs. Indirect
- Reported speech and reportative evidentiality
- Epistemic stance and inter/subjectivity in discourse
- Interactional approaches to evidentiality and/or epistemic modality
- Corpus-based studies on evidentiality and/or epistemic modality

A selection of papers based on contributions presented in this
conference will be published in a special issue of an international
journal and/or a prestigious academic publisher.
