The paper explores head and hand movements as markers of direct and indirect evidentiality, along with some lexemes in Russian. While there are numerous examples of evidential markers in speech, especially in languages where the category is grammaticalized, much less is known about non-verbal evidential markers. We claim that although there are no systemic rules for coding evidentiality, some polysemic hand and head gestures, such as palm up open hand gesture and head turns to the source of information can be regarded as indirect evidentials in line with the lexeme vidimo (‘apparently’). More interestingly, character viewpoint hand gestures and their combinations of vidimo with representative gestures can be considered as direct evidential means, despite the fact that Russian lacks obligatory evidential marking.

One of the common features of the Nakh-Daghestanian languages is the evidential opposition
between some of the past tense verb forms, which mark (in)direct access to the information. Khwarshi has two synthetic past forms that are traditionally considered to form this kind of opposition, but,
according to our data, it may in fact not be based on ...

This paper describes the semantics of one of the verb forms in Shughni, traditionally called Perfect. This form displays many areally-motivated typological similarities with perfects in other languages of Western and Central Asia. In particular, Shughni has developed an evidential opposition between the Preterite and the Perfect, in which the Perfect is used for non-witnessed ...

The article is dedicated to studying communicative and pragmatic evidential constructions in newspaper political narrative. Based on the assumption that a communicative subject is represented as chain cooperation (“orderer” – editor – journalist – source – journalist), markers of evidentiality are matched with reference to the information about the events described on behalf of the ...

The article explores correlations between motion verbs and head and hands gestures using the RUPEX corpus. The verbs are divided into four groups based on their meanings. Мonological and dialogical parts of the recordings are compared along with the speaker’s role and viewpoint in gestures. The pilot analysis of motion verbs in the multimodal corpus ...

На материале записей спонтанной устной речи сибирской крестьянки, носителя русского старожильческого говора, рассматривается невербальный способ обозначения перцептивных понятий (признаков и процессов). Наряду с широко распространенными размерными жестами, анализируются и невербальные обозначения других типов, бо́льшая часть которых описывается впервые. Диалектоноситель использует невербальные единицы для номинации практически всех модальностей восприятия (зрительной, звуковой, тактильной, обонятельной). Выявлены разные типы ...

The authors consistently reconstruct a fragment of E.A. Grishina’s research, which is devoted to the functioning of inter-lexical blinking in oral speech as a special “punctuation mark” marking the boundaries of syntactic structures. An attempt is made to reconstruct the methodology of this study and to describe it as explicitly as possible, taking into account ...

Languages spoken in contiguous areas tend to have similar systems of evidentiality marking. The Caucasus is part of a large area where systems centered on marking events as not witnessed by the speaker are widespread among genealogically unrelated languages. It is often suggested that Turkic languages could be the source of diffusion in this case, ...

Статья посвящена взаимодействию анафорических указательных выражений с параллельными жестами рук и головы на материале мультимодального корпуса RUPEX. Анализ выявил ряд корреляций между ролью говорящего (Рассказчик / Пересказчик / Комментатор) и его невербальным поведением. Было обнаружено, что Пересказчик, не видевший фильма, чаще прибегал к указательной анафоре, по сравнению с Рассказчиком. По-видимому, данными действиями Пересказчик стремился воссоздать ...

We have examined the evidential contrast between the first and the second past tense morphemes
in Komi-Zyrian. We found that in resultative contexts, the first past tense morphology
and the second past tense morphology compete with each other. While the use of the
second past tense morpheme signals that the speaker has indirect (inferential or hearsay)
evidence for the ...

The article addresses the relation of referential expressions and co-occurring kinetic phenomena (hand and head gestures) on the material of the RUPEX multimodal corpus. The results reflect significant differences in how individual movements and gestures are aligned with two major types of reference (full NPs vs. reduced expressions). It was initially assumed that full NPs ...

This paper explores how evidentiality is defined in recent research. It was inspired by the recent publication of The Oxford Handbook of Evidentiality and several other volumes, which provide a rich body of new material. The definition (or rather demarcation) of evidentiality encompasses both morphosyntactic and semantic parameters. I will address criteria for the distinction ...
