• Sommario/riassunto: This collective book examines epistemic modalities and evidentiality in a wide range of Indo-European and non Indo-European languages. It reflects both the diversity of current research and different linguistic traditions. The contributions, written by specialists in the fields covered, are broadly located in the domain of functional linguistics and explore language-specific data from a semantic, pragmatic, cognitive and typological perspective.
