INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EVIDENTIALITY AND MODALITY IN EUROPEAN 
LANGUAGES 2014 (EMEL’14)

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

The Department of English Philology I (English Language and 
Linguistics) of the Complutense University of Madrid is pleased to 
announce the International Conference on Evidentiality and Modality in 
European Languages 2014 (EMEL’14), which will take place at the 
Facultad de Filología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 6-8 October 
2014.

EMEL’14 invites you to submit abstracts for general session or poster 
papers on evidentiality and modality in European languages. The 
conference also welcomes proposals for workshop sessions. The 
conference aims to cover a broad range of research concerned with the 
domains of evidentiality and modality, with special interest in 
empirical work and crosslinguistic studies. Some proposed research 
areas include:

- Epistemicity: relation between evidentiality and epistemic modality

- Cross-linguistic and typological studies on evidentiality

- Evidential lexical units and constructions and their relation to 
evidential grammatical markers

- Types of evidentiality: Direct vs. Indirect

- Reported speech and reportative evidentiality

- Epistemic stance and inter/subjectivity in discourse

- Interactional approaches to evidentiality and/or epistemic modality

- Corpus-based studies on evidentiality and/or epistemic modality

A selection of papers based on contributions presented in this 
conference will be published in a special issue of an international 
journal and/or a prestigious academic publisher.
