“…For instance, (18b) can be uttered when the speaker simply "hears" the sound of Toto's car. Unlike this, if (18a) is uttered in a situation where Toto somehow could not see anything at all, e.g., due to an illness, a blackout, and so on, the sentence 12 Most of the existing discussions on pota examine it from the perspectives of grammaticalization and its historical development based on its semantico-pragmatic properties, while its syntax has not received much attention (Ho 1999, Kim 2020, Kwon 2012, Kwon 2018, Rhee 2001, Sohn 2012.

The cartographic project aims at drawing a map of clause structure that is as precise and as detailed as possible (Cinque 1999, 2004, Rizzi 1997, among many others). In this paper, I focus on the distribution of heads in the right periphery in Korean that I argue provides a direct window into the clausal architecture of the language. Taking as a starting point Cinque's (2004) discussion on the Italian verb sembrare in the context of clitic climbing and restructuring (see also Haegeman 2006, 2010), I examine the behavior of the verb pota in Korean and show that the verbs in question behave in exactly the same way in crucial respects—they can be merged high as functional heads marking speaker‐related evidentiality, while they can also be merged low as lexical verbs. The parallelism between pota and sembrare provides strong evidence for the universality of the cartographic hierarchy of functional projections.

“…It would also be inappropriate to use pota if the speaker has no evidence whatsoever to be committed to the (possible) truth of the proposition, e.g., when the speaker simply imagines the situation.18 Given this, An (2020) suggests that pota is a marker of "circumstantial evidentiality" Kwon (2018). uses the term "inferential evidentiality" to the same effect.…”

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the major public health events of the 21st century and has attracted global attention from the press since its outbreak. This research focused on the analysis of news coverage on the China-related epidemic by American media, aiming at revealing the features of evidentiality in the discourse and elucidating the underlying ideologies. This study can help news readers develop an objective and comprehensive understanding of China. Methodology: This study selected 40 China-related epidemic news reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post during the pandemic. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of the selected news were conducted through AntConc4.2.2 in light of Fairclough's (1992) three-dimensional model. Results: The results of this study indicated the pervasive use of evidentiality in the coverage of the China-related epidemic by U.S. media, wherein distinct evidential markers demonstrated varying frequencies and served different functions. In terms of news sources, American media predominantly relied on hearsay evidentials to attribute information, thereby bolstering the credibility of the reports while subtly conveying a skeptical stance toward China. In terms of reporting modes, the reporting mostly used indirect discourse and employed deduction and induction evidentials to express negative attitudes toward China. All the results were highly related to the social context. Conclusion: Generally, the research underscores the widespread incorporation of evidentials in news discourse, employed to specify or obscure sources of information. Furthermore, evidentials embed certain ideologies and attitudes, which may mislead readers.
