Evidentiality and Epistemic Modality in Spanish (Semi-)Auxiliaries (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
This book is the first in-depth study of the conceptual and formal differences between evidential and epistemic auxiliaries in Spanish. The proposed account explores the parallelism between form and meaning and is based on frequency tests in spoken, written, synchronic and diachronic corpora. By doing so, the book not only constitutes a considerable innovation with respect to the previous Spanish accounts in terms of (subject) raising, but also adds a new dimension to Cognitive Grammar notions such as transparency, focal prominence, profile, dynamic reference point and subjectification.
