“…Nonetheless, when evidential extensions arise, it is striking that they are all organised around report, inference and surprise. As different as they may seem, these meanings are known to pertain to the category of evidentiality (Guentchéva 1996(Guentchéva , 1994. It seems, then, that within an epistemic frame, typical evidential extensions can arise.…”

This paper aims to reassess how —and if— the epistemic conditional in French relates to evidentiality, focusing on its use in reportative and non-reportative declarative sentences as well as in conjectural polar questions. It is proposed that the epistemic conditional developed from the modal hypothetical use, which accounts for its ability to establish an epistemic frame. The epistemic conditional is defined as a construction that conveys an assumption whatever the source of information. It is claimed that the epistemic conditional does not primarily encode information source. Although the epistemic nature of the epistemic conditional makes it prone to draw on reportative evidence, it is not primarily an evidential marker. Nonetheless, the epistemic conditional is claimed to have indirect evidential and mirative extensions. Rather than the type of information source, the conditional encodes the speaker’s lack of control over information, which affects her level of commitment. Such an approach allows handling the different uses of the epistemic conditional in declarative sentences as well as in conjectural questions in a unified way.

“…Aucune combinaison de personne ne rend l'emploi du médiatif agrammatical, contrairement à ce que l'on observe en coréen et en tibétain (Chang 1996 ;Tournadre 1996), En revanche, outre le fait que la catégorie n'existe qu'au passé accompli (comme en turc et en bulgare, mais pas en albanais où il concerne tout le système verbal), l'évidentiel n'est pas compatible avec le mode non-actualisé : ainsi, si pour toutes les autres formes analytiques du verbe, le paradigme oppose formes à auxiliaire au présent actualisé em et à auxiliaire non-actualisé ('subjonctif') ëllam, la forme en -er, elle, bloque cette opposition. Ainsi, seules les subordonnées complétives et circonstancielles (à l'indicatif) permettent un prédicat à l'évidentiel (ex.…”
