“…Valenzuela (2003a) found noncognate evidential(-like) markers in several groups of the Panoan family, an interesting finding in light of evidentiality being an areal feature of Amazonia (Aikhenvald and Dixon, 1998). Body-part prefixation was first recognized by Steinen (1904: 37) and has continued to be a topic of interest (e.g., Loos, 1978 [1973], Erikson, 1989;Fleck, 2006b;Amarante Ribeiro and Cândido, 2008;Ferreira, 2008;Zariquiey and Fleck, 2012;Barbosa 2012).…”

“…First, there are languages where a contrast between individually and mutually known information can be observed within individual evidential types. South Conchucos Quechua (Hintz 2007) and Southeastern Tepehuan (Willett 1991) have evidentials of this type. Second, there are evidentials which display a certain distribution of knowledge, without there being an intersubjective contrast within evidential types.…”

“…It was windy. ' (adapted from Hintz 2007: 75) Another example of a language with intersubjective evidentials is Southeastern Tepehuan (Mexico, Uto-Aztecan, Willett 1991). Within the reportive category, there is a contrast between information based on a report that was made to the speaker but is not known to the addressee (expressed by the particle sap) and information based on a report made to the speaker which is known to the addressee (expressed by the particle sac) (Willett 1991: 162-5).…”

Intersubjective evidentials in Yurakaré

This paper argues that evidentials in Yurakaré (Bolivia, isolate) have an intersubjective dimension in that they do not only express the speaker's information source, but also convey the speaker's assumptions about the addressee's perspective on the information. To describe these intersubjective evidentials, an analysis is proposed in terms of a relation between speaker and addressee and two propositions, the expressed proposition and the proposition which constitutes evidence for it. Evidence from conversational data is presented to support the intersubjective analysis of the Yurakaré evidentials. Comparing Yurakaré to two other languages, South Conchucos Quechua (Hintz 2007) and Southeastern Tepehuan (Willett 1991), it is suggested that there are at least two types of intersubjective evidentials. Evidentials of the first type have different forms contrasting in terms of intersubjectivity within evidential types (South Conchucos Quechua, Southeastern Tepehuan), while those of the second type have specific intersubjective components without such a contrast (Yurakaré).

“…In Huamalíes Quechua, there is no evidence that the marking of personal or nonpersonal stance on every utterance is obligatory (see Adelaar's 1997 discussion on this issue); rather, the data show that both the evidentials -mi and -shi and the tense/aspect markers -rqa-and -naa have 'evidential scope' (Valenzuela 2003) across whole segments of the discourse; once speaker perspective has been established, these markers may not recur until there is a shift in perspective, at which point other markers indicate this shift. Examples of this pattern will be seen in the text.…”

This paper examines evidentiality and epistemic modality in Quechua narrative discourse from the central highlands of Peru. Huamalíes Quechua falls into the broad Quechua 'I' dialect grouping established by Alfredo Torero (1964); evidential usage here can be compared to that of southern Conchucos Quechua as studied by Diane and Daniel Hintz (2007; while it differs in interesting ways from the Quechua 'II' dialects of southern Peru as studied by Faller (2002;. The analysis focuses on an orally performed traditional narrative that deals with the theme of social interaction between a human protagonist and a spirit being of the 'other world' . It describes the human protagonist's gradual realization of the nature of the spirit being with whom he has become involved; evidential and epistemic markings grammatically structure this transition from conjecture, to supposition, to direct witness. The aim is to show how the story's cultural content, and the way in which evidentials and epistemic modality are operationalized, are mutually entailing. Form and content taken together throw light both on how evidentiality and epistemic modality work in social interaction and on how Amerindian understandings of the interface between the 'natural ' and 'supernatural' worlds, and between 'humans' and 'non-humans' , inform grammatical usage.
