{"pk":34951,"title":"Re-evaluation of the evidential system of Lhasa Tibetan and its atypical functions","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper describes the specific contexts in which evidentials may be used in Lhasa Tibetan. I first give a brief presentation of the notion of \nevidentiality\n in interaction with \npragmatics\n, which has been mainly used for describing Lhasa Tibetan. Then I re-evaluate the analysis of the evidential verb system in Lhasa Tibetan. I show there are indeed \neight evidentials\n. I only focus on the six first evidentials: egophoric, sensorial, factual, inferential, mnemic and self-corrective with controllable verbs. The two other evidentials are the quotative and the hearsay particles.\nThen, I focus on the specific functions of the evidentials with controllable verbs. I present the use of the intentional egophoric with the non-SAP and controllable verbs when the speaker refers to personal knowledge and I also discuss some of its restrictions. Then, I present the specific uses of the sensorial, factual and inferential evidentials.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"evidentiality"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9v08z3b4","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Guillaume","middle_name":"","last_name":"Oisel","name_suffix":"","institution":"Other","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2015-11-02T01:35:19Z","date_accepted":"2015-11-02T01:35:19Z","date_published":"2017-12-31T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/himalayanlinguistics/article/34951/galley/26065/download/"}]}
