Abstract:

This volume posits that evidentials and other types of epistemic
marking (i.e. epistemics) are deictic forms, indexing knowledge
representation and attribution, and need to be analysed in context.
The volume adopts an interaction- and discourse-based perspective to
the study of meaning and distribution of epistemics in a varied sample
of languages. Its primary aim is to further our understanding of
epistemics by addressing three main analytical challenges: (1) the
context-sensitivity of epistemic forms, (2) comparability of forms and
systems across languages, and (3) linking data-driven analyses of
epistemics focusing on interaction and discourse to traditional
analyses of similar forms.
