The way the future is grammaticalized in language may influence the way we think about future events. However, recent experimental investigations have led to suspicions that this relationship may not be driven by the future tense alone. Rather than simply considering whether a language uses the future tense to mark the future, it has been suggested that epistemic modality, which marks probability or likelihood, may contribute to this relationship. The notion of probability is applicable to research in health communication, as its goal is to effectively communicate health-relevant (future) outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the role of grammaticalization of the future and epistemic modality in the context of effective health messages for skin cancer. Concretely, we conducted two experiments where we presented a total of 299 participants from the general population with narratives about fictional characters and their skin cancer risk related to their new job situation. These narratives varied in terms of verb tense and epistemic modality. Participants had to rate the perceived likelihood that the people described in the narratives would develop skin cancer. In Experiment 1 we assessed participants’ cognitive evaluation and in Experiment 2 we assessed participants’ affective evaluation of the likelihood of developing skin cancer. We found a main effect for epistemic modality when information was processed cognitively (Experiment 1) and a main effect for verb tense when information was processed affectively (Experiment 2). Our results indicate that the way we present health information in narratives may affect people’s perception of the likelihood of developing skin cancer. Further, we found evidence that affective evaluation may be connected to superficial information processing.

未来在语言中的语法化方式可能会影响我们对未来事件的思考方式。然而，最近的实验性调查导致人们怀疑，这种关系可能不仅仅是由未来时态驱动的。有人认为，标记概率或可能性的认知模态可能有助于这种关系，而不是简单地考虑一种语言是否使用未来时态来标记未来。概率的概念适用于健康传播的研究，因为它的目标是有效地传播与健康相关的（未来）结果。本研究的目的是评估未来和认知模式的语法化在癌症有效健康信息的背景下的作用。具体来说，我们进行了两个实验，共有299名来自普通人群的参与者讲述了虚构人物的故事，以及他们与新工作环境相关的皮肤癌症风险。这些叙述在动词时态和认识情态方面各不相同。参与者必须对叙述中描述的人患癌症的可能性进行评分。在实验1中，我们评估了参与者的认知评估，在实验2中，我们评估参与者对患癌症可能性的情感评估。我们发现，当信息被认知处理时，认知情态受到主要影响（实验1），而当信息被情感处理时，动词时态受到主要作用（实验2）。我们的研究结果表明，我们在叙述中呈现健康信息的方式可能会影响人们对患癌症可能性的认知。此外，我们发现有证据表明，情感评价可能与表面信息处理有关。

This study investigates the evolving landscape of healthcare communication in Italy, focusing on the use of language brokering services sensu latu, including interpreting, cultural and linguistic mediation and other solutions bridging the language gap. With the country experiencing a significant influx of tourists and immigrants in recent years, the need for efficient language services has become crucial to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all individuals. The study examines the perspectives of two key professional groups involved in linguistically mediated medical encounters: language brokers and healthcare professionals. Specially designed questionnaires were administered to each group, and the analysis is conducted within the framework of sociolinguistics, complemented by survey research. The findings highlight various challenges, particularly in the ethical dimension, while emphasizing the potential for collaboration and service quality improvement through mutual adjustments between these professional groups. The results of this study can inform the development of training programmes and regulations that enhance the ability of healthcare professionals and language brokers to address these challenges effectively.

本研究调查了意大利医疗保健沟通的发展趋势，重点关注语言中介服务的使用，包括口译、文化和语言中介以及其他弥合语言差距的解决方案。近年来，随着该国游客和移民的大量涌入，对高效语言服务的需求对于确保所有人公平获得医疗保健至关重要。这项研究考察了参与语言中介医疗遭遇的两个关键专业群体的观点：语言经纪人和医疗保健专业人员。对每组进行了专门设计的问卷调查，分析在社会语言学的框架内进行，并辅以调查研究。研究结果强调了各种挑战，特别是在道德层面，同时强调了通过这些专业群体之间的相互调整，合作和提高服务质量的潜力。这项研究的结果可以为培训计划和法规的制定提供信息，以提高医疗保健专业人员和语言经纪人有效应对这些挑战的能力。
