The analysis is conducted in a rigorous typological frame developed after a careful consideration of a wealth of cross-linguistic data, and focuses on Italian, a language often disregarded in comparative analyses. The complexity of the Italian epistemic system provides relevant information that will undoubtedly foster a better understanding of the topic. A new definition of epistemic modality is proposed on a functional basis and the structure of the Italian epistemic system. 606 $aItalian language$xModality 606 $aItalian language$xSemantics 606 $aEpistemics 615 0$aItalian language$xModality. 615 0$aItalian language$xSemantics. 615 0$aEpistemics. 676 $a425/.6 700 $aPietrandrea$b Paola$0770001 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824158903321 996 $aEpistemic modality$91570452 997 $aUNINA
