"This book is intended to contribute to the clarification of the linguistic research
area covered by the terms modal, evidential and epistemic. It sets out to demonstrate
that on cross-linguistic grounds a hitherto overlooked epistemic meaning domain must
be given due recognition in linguistic theory, on a par with domains such as time
and number. The relevant domain is coherent, but at the same time complex in that
it consists of two subdomains: one which comprises degree-of-certainty meanings, and
one which comprises information-source meanings. The book offers three arguments for
giving recognition to such a meaning domain. The first argument concerns the clustering
of linguistic expressions with epistemic meaning into morphosyntactically delimited
systems of elements. The second argument has to do with the variation pertaining to
the coding of epistemic meanings, as highlighted in a semantic map of epistemic expressions.
The third argument turns upon the scope properties of epistemic meanings and the morphosyntactic
reflections of these properties. Finally, the book proposes a unified cognitive analysis
of epistemic meaning in terms of which it attempts to account for the properties of
the epistemic meaning domain as well as of individual epistemic meanings."--Publisher's
