Differences can be found between the use of evidentials in sen- tences with first-person subjects and their use in sentences with only third- person referents. These differences are divided into two types: frequency effects and interpretation effects of various kinds. There are evidentials that are regu- larly used in sentences with only third-person referents, but extremely rare in sentences with first-person subjects; whether there are evidentials with the opposite distribution is a more complex issue. Differences of interpretation of evidentials in the two types of sentence range from sharp meaning differences, through differences of semantic extension, to differences of pragmatic inter- pretation.
