Abstract:

This volume offers a thorough, systematic, and crosslinguistic account of
evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of the source of information on which a
statement is based. In some languages, the speaker always has to specify this
source - for example whether they saw the event, heard it, inferred it based
on visual evidence or common sense, or was told about it by someone else.
While not all languages have obligatory marking of this type, every language
has ways of referring to information source and associated epistemological
meanings. The continuum of epistemological expressions covers a range of
devices from the lexical means in familiar European languages and in many
languages of Aboriginal Australia to the highly grammaticalized systems in
Amazonia or North America. In this handbook, experts from a variety of fields
explore topics such as the relationship between evidentials and epistemic
modality, contact-induced changes in evidential systems, the acquisition of
evidentials, and formal semantic theories of evidentiality. The book also
contains detailed case studies of evidentiality in language families across
the world, including Algonquian, Korean, Nakh-Dagestanian, Nambikwara, Turkic,
Uralic, and Uto-Aztecan.
