Abstract:

Evidentiality in communication is better investigated in delimited and
recognizable contexts where the multiple levels of meaning in interactional
practices are manifested. Taking this viewpoint, the present volume explores
the interrelations between evidentials and textual genre in Spanish. Adopting
a discursive perspective, all of the chapters examine how the functional
category of evidentiality is brought into discourse, which set of linguistic
strategies evidentiality makes explicit, what counts as evidence in certain
contexts and in certain textual genres, and what particular pragmatic meanings
these mechanisms acquire, invoke and project onto the on-going discourse. In
particular, this book is concerned with the relationship between evidential
expressions and the pragmatic meaning(s) triggered by those expressions, and
the role of genre in shaping the evidential meanings. The volume is addressed
to both theoretically and empirically minded scholars in the disciplines of
Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Communication Studies, and
Psychology.
