Abstract:

This volume explores phenomena which come under the heading of epistemic
modalities and evidentiality in more or less well-known languages (Germanic,
Romance, Balto-Slavic, Hungarian, Tibetan, Lakandon and Yucatec Maya,
Arwak-Chibchan Kogi and Ika). It reveals cross-linguistic variations in the
structuring of these vast fields of enquiry and clearly demonstrates the
relevance and interplay of multiple factors involved in the analysis of these
two conceptual domains. Although the contributions present diverging
descriptive traditions, they are nonetheless within the broad domain of
functional-typological linguistics and give access to distinct yet comparable
approaches. They all converge around a number of key issues: modal verbs; the
relationship between epistemic modality and evidentiality; the relationship of
modal notions with some tense and aspect notions; the notions of
(inter)subjectivity, commitment and (dis)engagement; the prosodic variation of
modal adverbs, the diachronic connections between negation and evidential
markers, the connection with mirativity. The volume is of interest to
linguists and advanced graduate students working in general and theoretical
linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, cognition, and typology.
