Abstract:

Statements are always under the threat of the potential counter-question How
do you know? To pre-empt this question, language users often indicate what
kind of access they had to the communicated content: Their own perception,
inference from other information, ‘hearsay’, etc. Such expressions,
grammatical or lexical, have been studied in recent years under the cover term
of evidentiality research. The present volume contributes 11 new studies to
this flourishing field, all exploring evidential phenomena in a range of
languages (Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Khalkha Mongolian,
Spanish, Tibetan, Yurakaré), using a variety of methodologies. Evidential
meaning is discussed in relation to other semantic dimensions, such as
epistemic modality, semantic roles, commitment, quotative meaning, and tense.
The volume is of interest to scholars and students who are interested in
up-to-date methods and frameworks for studying evidential meaning and the
various ways it is expressed in the languages of the world.
