Abstract
This paper introduces the main notions that are addressed in this special issue, namely evidentiality, modality,
and grammaticalization. It defines each notion and briefly synthesizes the literature. It also presents some of the controversies
which surround the ideas that prevail in these research fields. Crosslinguistic examples illustrate the main evidential and modal
categories, and clarify why the two domains are both distinct and related. The paper then sketches the main pathways of
grammaticalization of modal and evidential markers as they have been documented in typological work. Finally, it introduces the
contributions to this special issue, highlights the new insights, and discusses what remains to be investigated on the links
between evidentiality, modality, and grammaticalization.
期刊介绍：
Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
