Evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of speaker's information source, is an understudied phenomenon in languages such as English and German, which do not encode evidential meaning in the grammar. However, there are several lexical means by which sp... Read More about Auditory Evidentiality in English and German: The Case of Perception Verbs.
