[Lingtyp] Epistemic possibility plus affective evaluation?

[Bastian Persohn]

Dear colleagues,

I was wondering if you know of any examples of expressions of epistemic
possibility - especially adverbials - that additionally contribute an 
element
of affective evaluation, i.e. expressions that could be paraphrased in 
English along
the lines of  ʻmaybe (and I hope that is the case)ʼ or ʻmaybe (but 
hopefully that's not the case)ʼ.

Thanks so much!

Bastian
