Exploring evidentiality in Spanish Biology articles (1850–1920)
Intersubjectivity and accessibility of evidences
Dorota Kotwica | University of Valencia. Val.Es.Co Research Group
This article examines the expression of evidentiality in scientific articles taking as a starting point the concept of access to the evidence, which is closely related to, albeit not equal with, intersubjectivity. Combining data from the existing theoretical background and corpus analysis, I classify the criteria for distinguishing shared from non-shared evidences within the traditional typology of evidential meanings. The analysis of a corpus of Spanish Biology articles (1850–1920) reveals the relevance of shared evidential constructions in this type of discourse and shows that the accessibility is especially linked to indirect evidential constructions.
Keywords: evidentiality, Spanish, scientific discourse, intersubjectivity, access to the evidence
