Isi artikel

This paper proposes an analysis of Cuzco Quechua evidentials within the possible worlds framework developed by Kratzer (1981, 1987, 2010), and explores how the tools provided by this framework can be used to best capture their evidential and epistemic modal aspects. In particular, it will be discussed how differences between evidentials can be accounted for by different restrictions on the modal base and ordering source.
