<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Martine<BR> <BR>This issue has been extensively addressed in Chapter 8 of my book Evidentiality (OUP, 2004), 8.1.1, Evidentials in questions, and 8.1.2 Evidentiality in commands. If you don't have this book I could send these chapters to you. Then,. the issue of evidentials in commands and questions was addressed in The grammar of knowledge, OUP, 2014, ed Aikhenvald and Dixon (there are new examples of languages with ample discussion - including languages such as Kurtöp, Ersu, Saaroa, Tatar, Kalmyk...)- I am sure your library has this book.<BR> <BR>Evidentials in Amazonia have been extensively addressed in Chapter 9 of my Languages of the Amazon (OUP, 2012, paperback 2015) - you probably have this book already.<BR><br>We have recently put together a little web-site on Evidentiality, with a number of publications etc on evidentiality. The link is:<BR><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://research.jcu.edu.au/lcrc/Research%20Projects/evidentiality" target="_blank">http://research.jcu.edu.au/lcrc/Research%20Projects/evidentiality</a></p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">This is partly a resource for the contributors to The Oxford Handbook of Evidentiality; however, it contains reference and a bibliography on this topic, so will hopefully be useful to many people. This also contains materials on evidentials in commands and in questions.</p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The Oxford Handbook of evidentiality will - of course -address this issue in some depth.</p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Further data on evidentials in commands and questions are in my forthcoming paper 'Evidentials and their links with categories' will be coming out in Linguistic Typology this year. (This is based on a paper given at the workshop you organized last year). I will send you an offprint when it is out.</p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">So the issue is really well researched, and there is a lot of accessible information. </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Hope this is helpful.</p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Best wishes</p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Sasha</p><p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br>

I would like to know whether a reportative can be used in interrogative and imperative sentences. If it can be used in interrogatives, what does this mean? Can one use the reportative in sentences in order to report someone else's question, does it mean that you are asking about what has been said or does it have any other effect? Would would the use of the reportative with imperatives mean? Any examples and references will be highly appreciated!</div><div>Best,</div><div>Martine Bruil</div></div>
