In this book, Arakaki provides the first comprehensive analysis of Luchuan evidentials. She proposes that Luchuan has a grammatical evidential system which contains one Direct evidential and three indirect evidentials (Inference, Assumed, and Reportative). The discussion includes cross-linguistic issues such as how evidentiality is related to epistemic modality, with the intention that this work should constitute a contribution to the typological and theoretical study of evidentiality. This work will open new horizons for the study of evidentiality.Brill's Studies in Language, Cognition and Culture4.Ryukyuan languageGrammarRyukyuan languageDialectsRyukyuan languageGrammar, ComparativeJapaneseRyukyuan languageTerms and phrasesJapanese languageDialectsHistoryRyukyuan languageGrammar.Ryukyuan languageDialects.Ryukyuan languageGrammar, ComparativeJapanese.Ryukyuan languageTerms and phrases.Japanese languageDialectsHistory.495.6Arakaki Tomoko1787040NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910972500503321Evidentials in Ryukyuan4319658UNINA
