Summary and outlook -- $t Backmatter 330 $aThis book is a comprehensive study of the evidential system in German. It presents a systematic description of the encoding of evidentiality in present-day German, as well as a diachronic reconstruction of the relevant sources and paths of grammaticalization from the Old High German period onwards. Based on empirical corpus research, the study investigates the degree of grammaticalization of each single evidential construction and the make-up of the present-day system as well as the diachronic stages that lead to the present state. The book focuses on three main issues. First, it is concerned with the general notion of evidentiality, its deictic character, and with the interrelations between the domains of evidentiality and epistemic modality. Second, the book presents the results of the synchronic corpus-based analysis of the German evidential periphrastic constructions werden 'become' + infinitive, scheinen 'seem', drohen 'threaten', versprechen 'promise' + zu 'to'- infinitive, which constitute a paradigm for coding evidentiality in Present Day German. Third, the diachronic development of the evidential constructions is represented as a complex grammaticalization process, interacting with the development of modal constructions and leading to a highly differentiated category of modal and evidential distinctions in the grammar of German. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v228. 606 $aGerman language$xGrammaticalization 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGerman language$xGrammaticalization. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization. 676 $a435 686 $aLL 10197$2rvk 700 $aDiewald$b Gabriele$0302356 701 $aSmirnova$b Elena$0302018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459869503321 996 $aEvidentiality in German$9766459 997 $aUNINA
