Subject: Epistemicity Glossary


The MapLE project has created a glossary of terms used in
epistemicity: https://epistemicity.net/glossary/
We (Giosuè Balocco, Jenneke van der Wal, Seppo Kittilä) wanted to
create some clarity in the terminology of evidentiality, egophoricity,
mirativity, information structure and epistemic modality, including
hyperlinks to compare the various terms. So if you’ve always wanted to
know the 8 alternative names for ’non-egophoric’ or look up what
‘privileged access’ means, we hope this glossary helps!
