De por qué los santos, los reyes y los filósofos siempre dizen la verdad. Evidencialidad reportativa y modalidad epistémica con decir en el siglo XIII: análisis del sujeto evidencial
Abstract
Evidentialist studies of Spanish, with some exceptions, have focused on the current state of the language. Due to this, analyzing this category through the subject, the source of the report, and allows for outlining a more concrete overview of the interaction between evidentiality and epistemic modality from the early stages of Spanish. This work also aims to outline an attempt at early findings that can serve as a basis for comparison in the history of the language. The overall results suggest that the epistemic evaluation of reports is largely related to the evidential subject, the entity to whom the reported discourse belongs.
