Abstract:

The Oxford Handbook of Evidentiality offers a thorough, systematic,
and crosslinguistic account of evidentiality, the linguistic encoding
of the source of information on which a statement is based. In some
languages, the speaker always has to specify this source - for example
whether they saw the event, heard it, inferred it based on visual
evidence or common sense, or was told about it by someone else. While
not all languages have obligatory marking of this type, every language
has ways of referring to information source and associated
epistemological meanings. The continuum of epistemological expressions
covers a range of devices from the lexical means in familiar European
languages and in many languages of Aboriginal Australia to the highly
grammaticalized systems in Amazonia or North America. In this
handbook, experts from a variety of fields explore topics such as the
relationship between evidentials and epistemic modality,
contact-induced changes in evidential systems, the acquisition of
evidentials, and formal semantic theories of evidentiality. The Oxford
Handbook of Evidentiality also contains detailed case studies of
evidentiality in language families across the world, including
Algonquian, Korean, Nakh-Dagestanian, Nambikwara, Turkic, Uralic, and
Uto-Aztecan.
