Abstract:

Evidentiality, the linguistic category which marks the source of the speaker’s
information, has often been overlooked in studies of Luchuan (Ryukyuan), the
only sister language of Japanese. In this book, Arakaki provides the first
comprehensive analysis of Luchuan evidentials. She proposes that Luchuan has a
grammatical evidential system which contains one Direct evidential and three
indirect evidentials (Inference, Assumed, and Reportative). The discussion
includes cross-linguistic issues such as how evidentiality is related to
epistemic modality, with the intention that this work should constitute a
contribution to the typological and theoretical study of evidentiality. This
work will open new horizons for the study of evidentiality.
