These may be\u0000 exclusive to the speaker or shared by the addressee. Instead of information source, it is argued that some direct evidentials\u0000 encode the speaker’s epistemic authority regarding an event based on their primary relation to the event. Epistemic authority\u0000 concerns the speaker’s rights over knowledge and is therefore a relational concept that captures some of the dynamics between\u0000 speech act participants in terms of knowledge representation and attribution. Support for this argument comes from the diachronic\u0000 development of direct evidentials, the effects of co-distribution between direct evidentials and person marking (egophoricity),\u0000 and patterns of use. Data comes from the literature on evidentiality and frequently cited languages from Tucanoan and Quechuan\u0000 languages that feature well-described, rich evidential systems.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42254693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate these two proposals with regard to the English transcripts\u0000 of six TED Talks and their Lithuanian, Portuguese and Turkish translations in the TED-Multilingual Discourse Bank (TED-MDB),\u0000 annotated for discourse relations, following the Penn Discourse Treebank style of annotation. Our data shows that the\u0000 discontinuous relations contrast and concession are indeed frequently explicit in all languages. But continuous\u0000 relations show differences per relation and language. For instance, cause is frequently conveyed implicitly in English\u0000 and Portuguese, but not in Lithuanian and Turkish. We explore temporal continuity by analysing whether the forward-order sense\u0000 result is more frequently implicit than the backward-order reason. The hypothesis is confirmed by English\u0000 and Portuguese, but not Lithuanian and Turkish. However, in Turkish, the arguments of the backward-order relation reason\u0000 are frequently presented by the reversed order of arguments, retaining the linear order of events even in the presence of the\u0000 connective. The causality-by-default hypothesis is not confirmed, as cause is not the most frequent implicit relation in\u0000 the four languages.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42138385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Continuity in discourse relations","authors":"Debopam Das, Markus Egg","doi":"10.1075/fol.22017.das","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/fol.22017.das","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Continuity and discontinuity (maintaining or shifting deictic centres across segments) are important aspects of\u0000 discourse relations. Yet they have been attributed to these relations in very different ways. This calls for an analysis of\u0000 individual instances of discourse relations with respect to their continuity dimensions. To this end, we operationalise Givón’s (1993) continuity dimensions (time, space, reference, action,\u0000 perspective, modality, and speech act), decomposing them into distinctive features that allow a\u0000 consistent and accurate classification of the continuity dimensions in discourse relation tokens. This inventory was applied to\u0000 five representative relation types (causal, contrastive, conditional, elaboration, and\u0000 temporal) from the RST Discourse Treebank (Carlson & Marcu 2001). We\u0000 found that relations can simultaneously be more continuous for some dimensions but more discontinuous for others. What is more,\u0000 discourse relations typically vary widely in different continuity dimensions and thus cannot be described as fully continuous or\u0000 discontinuous, neither on the level of the entire relation type nor for one of its particular dimensions. Using examples of\u0000 causal, conditional, and contrastive relations, we also illustrate how the results of our analysis\u0000 can be used to verify hypotheses about correlations between continuity and discourse relations.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44419555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
