Abstract:
Egophoricity refers to the grammaticalised encoding of personal knowledge or
involvement of a conscious self in a represented event or situation. Most
typically, a marker that is egophoric is found with first person subjects in
declarative sentences and with second person subjects in interrogative
sentences. This person sensitivity reflects the fact that speakers generally
know most about their own affairs, while in questions this epistemic authority
typically shifts to the addressee. First described for Tibeto-Burman
languages, egophoric-like patterns have now been documented in a number of
other regions around the world, including languages of Western China, the
Andean region of South America, the Caucasus, Papua New Guinea, and elsewhere.
This book is a first attempt to place detailed descriptions of this
understudied grammatical category side by side and to add to the
cross-linguistic picture of how ideas of self and other are encoded and
projected in language. The diverse but conceptually related egophoric
phenomena described in its chapters provide fascinating case studies for how
structural patterns in morphosyntax are forged under intersubjective,
interactional pressures as we link elements of our speech to our speech
situation.
