   This article analyses the grammaticalisation of the grammatical category of evidentiality. It explains that evidentiality is a verbal category in its own right and it does not bear any straight-forward relationship to the expression of speaker's responsibility, or attitude to the statement. Grammaticalisation of evidentials follows two general ...

   Sep 29, 2015 · Evidentiality is a verbal category in its own right. It does not bear any straightforward relationship to the expression of the speaker’s responsibility or attitude toward the statement. Neither is evidentiality a subcategory of modality or a tense. Nonevidential categories, including perfect aspect, past tense, conditional, and other ...

   Many English evidentials have undergone changes that are typical of lexical forms progressing towards (semi-)grammaticality. As mentioned in 2.4, the five criteria I will explore are: reduction, desemanticization, backgrounding, decategorialization, and paradigmatization.

   The data on English evidentials show that the grammaticalization of evidentiality is substantial, and seriously question the widespread belief that evidentiality has only grammaticalized in a few non-Indo-European languages. Evidentiality is instead a necessary concept for a thorough description of English grammar.

   What are grammatical strategies for evidentiality?

   • Typical meanings of evidentiality strategies cover hearsay, inference, assumption, and non‐first‐hand evidence. The development of evidentiality as a grammatical category out of essentially non‐evidential forms involves reanalysis and reinterpretation, as corollaries of grammaticalization.

   Where do grammatical evidentials come from?

   • As in so-called ‘evidential languages’, English grammatical evidentials come either from lexical forms expressing information sources that have undergone grammaticalization, or from forms that were already grammatical, and which have extended their uses to the evidential domain.

   Is evidentiality a grammatical domain?

   • Although most studies on evidentiality have focused on so-called ‘evidential languages’ (Chafe & Nichols, eds., 1986; Aikhenvald 2004; ed., 2018), evidentiality is in fact a universal semantic domain that leaves a functional gap in languages lacking a grammatical paradigm for it (Boye & Harder 2009).

   When is a linguistic form evidential?

   • Adopting the strict definition of evidentiality mentioned in 2.1, I only considered a linguistic form to be evidential when it explicitly denoted which of the three main information sources the speaker relied on when making his/her statement: i. Did the speaker witness the situation? (direct perception evidentiality) ii.

   Oct 1, 2011 · Linguistics. [Extract] Evidentiality is a grammatical category with source of information as its primary meaning- whether the speaker saw the event happen (known as visual evidential), or heard it but didn't see it (non-visual evidential), or made an inference based on general knowledge or visual traces (assumed evidential and inferential ...
