Aprašymas
Evidentiality in Udmurt presents the first in-depth exploration of how this endangered Uralic language encodes information source, mirativity, and epistemic modality through its past tense morphology. Grounded in field data and typological comparison, the book offers a detailed portrait of the Udmurt evidential system and its contextual-pragmatic extensions. Udmurt emerges as a key case for understanding the dynamics of small evidential systems built around an evidentially neutral form and a marked counterpart. The findings contribute to typological research on the interaction of evidential, modal, and pragmatic categories in small evidential systems, many of which are found across the Volga-Kama region and Northern Eurasia.
