Mortelmans, Tanja 2024 Frequency differences in reportative exceptionality and how to account for them: A case study on verbal reportative markers in French, Dutch and German Evidentiality, Modality and Grammaticalization, Mélac, Eric (ed.), pp. 682–722 | Article

Reportative evidential markers are – in contrast to other evidential markers – compatible with distancing interpretations, in which the speaker denies the truth of what is being reported. This exceptional behaviour of reportatives is termed ‘reportative exceptionality’ (AnderBois 2014). In this… read more

This paper addresses the German seem-type verb scheinen and its Dutch ‘equivalents’ lijken and schijnen. On the basis of an analysis of spoken corpus data, it is shown that these verbs differ with respect to three parameters: 1) their constructional preferences 2) their evidential potential and 3)… read more

In Cognitive Grammar, grounding predications are by definition highly grammaticalized elements. As grammaticalization is a gradient phenomenon, this chapter argues for a more gradual view on grounding. It is proposed that a particular linguistic unit may show a weaker or a stronger degree of… read more

Abstract. The difference with respect to the kind of evidence evoked by the so-called 'epistemic' uses of the German modals müssen and sollen is argued to affect the epistemic contribution of both verbs in a crucial way. With quotative sollen, a genuine subjective-epistemic moment (which should not… read more
