Verb and Context
The impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories
This volume approaches the interaction of evidentiality with some other related categories, such as modality and mirativity, from an innovative angle: its connection to informational configuration. The aim of this book is to analyze the impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories as well as to explore its reflection on different verb choices. It provides an innovative theoretical view as well as a robust typological, crosslinguistic perspective.

“[E]l libro se compone como escenario para el debate de distintos fenómenos en los que las construcciones y formas lingüísticas se encuentran condicionadas de algún modo por el contexto. En su conjunto, la obra se sumerge en la problemática de la estructura de la información tradicionalmente vinculada a dos parámetros, el conocimiento compartido (comunitario o individual) y la prominencia cognitiva en relación con las categorías TAME. El abordaje propuesto involucra la noción de significado y su relación con las formas de expresión y el contexto de uso. La estructura de la información y la noción de significado se presentan como vecto- res del debate a lo largo de toda la obra.”
