“…For example, the English markers evidently and apparently, which are expressed by a single adverb, and the markers I think and I guess, which are realised by a clause, belong to author stance adverbials (Biber et al 1999, 854-855). In Lithuanian, as has been shown in previous studies (Usonienė 2012(Usonienė , 2013(Usonienė , 2015Smetona, Usonienė 2012), alongside the adverbs and non-agreeing adjectives illustrated in (1) and (2), common synchronic sources of adverbialisation can be verbs (e.g. atrodo 'it seems', girdi 'hear'), non-agreeing participles (e.g.…”

The present study examines the functional distribution of the adverbials akivaizdžiai 'evidently', aiškiai 'clearly', ryškiai 'visibly/clearly', tariamai 'allegedly/supposedly' and aišku 'clearly/of course' in Lithuanian fiction and academic discourse. The aim of the study is to identify the evidential and/or pragmatic functions of perception and communication-based adverbials which can be traced synchronically to different syntactic environment (a predication manner adverbial and a CTP clause). The paper examines the frequency of these adverbials, their position, scope, functions, cooccurrence with argumentative markers, word class (adverb or non-agreeing adjective) and the type of discourse they occur in. The research is conducted by applying a corpusbased methodology and the data are obtained from the Corpus of the Contemporary Lithuanian Language, namely from the subcorpus of fiction, and the Corpus of Academic Lithuanian.The perception-based adverbials akivaizdžiai 'evidently', aiškiai 'clearly', ryškiai 'clearly/visibly' and aišku 'clearly/of course' denote inferences drawn from perceptual and conceptual evidence and contribute to persuasive authorial argumentation, while the communication-based adverbial tariamai 'allegedly/supposedly' functions as a hearsay marker. The latter may also be used as an epistemic marker which refers to unreal or imagined situations. In contexts of common knowledge, the adverbial aišku 'clearly/of course' acquires interactional and textual functions and thus reveals traces of pragmaticalisation. In academic discourse, it signals interaction with the addressee and links units of discourse, while in fiction it functions as a speech act modifier in a variety of emotive contexts. The pragmaticalisation of aišku 'clearly/of course' is also marked by its high frequency, positional mobility (initial, medial, final) and scopal variability (clausal, phrasal). Alongside its discrete evidential and pragmatic functions, the adverbial aišku 'clearly/of course' displays the merger of the two functions. The 105 adverbials akivaizdžiai 'evidently', aiškiai 'clearly', ryškiai 'visibly/clearly' and tariamai 'allegedly/supposedly' do not acquire a pragmatic function, which is indicated by their frequency and position. The results of the present study corroborate the findings of previous studies that common sources of evidential adverbials and pragmatic markers in Lithuanian are verb-based, adjective-based and noun-based CTP clauses.

“…The present study has been carried out by applying corpus-based methodology, which has been proved to be an effective tool in describing the functional distribution of evidential and epistemic markers in Germanic (Simon-Vandenbergen & Aijmer 2007), Romance (Cornillie 2010), Slavic (Wiemer & Kampf 2012) and Baltic languages (Usonienė & Šolienė 2010;Šinkūnienė 2012;Smetona & Usonienė 2012;Ruskan 2012;Chojnicka 2012). As shown in the studies mentioned above, in order to obtain a comprehensive functional semantic profile of the markers of epistemicity (evidentiality and epistemic modality), it is necessary to analyse them in their authentic contexts of use, which are efficiently provided by corpora.…”

Evidential and epistemic adverbials in Lithuanian: evidence from intra-linguistic and cross-linguistic analysis

In the recent decade the realisations of evidentiality and epistemic modality in European languages have received a great scholarly interest and resulted in important investigations concerning the relation between evidentiality and epistemic modality, their means of expression and meaning extensions in various types of discourse. The present paper deals with the adverbials akivaizdžiai 'evidently', aiškiai 'clearly', ryškiai 'visibly, clearly', matyt 'apparently, evidently' and regis 'seemingly', which derive from the source domain of perception, and the epistemic necessity adverbials tikriausiai/veikiausiai/greičiausiai 'most probably', būtinai 'necessarily' and neabejotinai 'undoubtedly'. The aim of the paper is to explore the morphosyntactic properties of the adverbials when they are used as evidential or epistemic markers and compare the distribution of their evidential and epistemic functions in Lithuanian fiction, news and academic discourse. The data have been drawn from the Corpus of the Contemporary Lithuanian Language, the Corpus of Academic Lithuanian and the bidirectional translation corpus ParaCorp EN→LT→EN (Šolienė 2012, 2015). The quantitative findings reveal distributional differences of the adverbials under study across different types of discourse. Functional variation of the evidential perception-based adverbials is determined to a great extent by the degree of epistemic commitment, evidenced not only by intra-linguistic but also cross-linguistic data. The non-perception based adverbials tikriausiai/veikiausiai/greičiausiai 'most 128 probably', būtinai 'necessarily' and neabejotinai 'undoubtedly' are the primary adverbial markers of epistemic necessity in Lithuanian, though some of them may have evidential meaning extensions. A parallel and comparable corpus-based analysis has once again proved to be a very efficient tool for diagnosing language-specific features and describing an inventory used to code language-specific evidential and epistemic meanings.

“…However, a comprehensive comparison of the two structurally different languages as English and Lithuanian dealing with the three types of modality and based on empirical data from a parallel corpus has been overlooked. The focus of the present corpus-based study is on the relation between the synchronic uses of the central modal auxiliary must and the semi-modals have to and have got to as well as their Lithuanian translational correspondences (TCs) found in a bidirectional translation corpus (the adverbials 2 tikriausiai, greičiausiai, veikiausiai 'certainly/surely/most probably', turbūt 'probably', matyt 'seemingly' and the modal verb turėti 'must/have to'), identifying differences and similarities of how modal meanings are expressed in the two languages, e.g: 2 For the explanation of the term see Smetona & Usonienė (2012 …”

This paper deals with the three types of modality -epistemic, deontic and dynamic. It examines the relation between the synchronic uses of the modal auxiliary must and the semi-modals have to and have got to as well as their Lithuanian translation correspondences (TCs) found in a bidirectional translation corpus. The study exploits quantitative and qualitative methods of research. The purpose is to find out which type of modality is most common in the use of must, have to and have got to; to establish their equivalents in Lithuanian in terms of congruent or non-congruent correspondence (Johansson 2007); and to determine how Lithuanian TCs (verbs or adverbials) correlate with different types of modality expressed. The analysis has shown that must is mostly used to convey epistemic nuances, while have to and have got to feature in non-epistemic environments. The findings show that must can boast of a great diversity of TCs. Some of them may serve as epistemic markers; others appear in deontic domains only. Have (got) to, on the other hand, is usually rendered by the modal verbs reikėti 'need' and turėti 'must/have to', which usually encode deontic modality.Key words: modality, epistemic, deontic, dynamic, necessity, obligation, translational correspondence, corpus-based analysis (Ne)episteminis modalumas: anglų kalbos must, have to ir have got to bei jų vertimo atitikmenys lietuvių kalboje Santrauka Šio darbo objektas yra trys anglų kalbos modaliniai veiksmažodžiai -must 'turėti/ privalėti', have to ir have got to 'turėti/reikėti' ir jų vertimo atitikmenys lietuvių kalboje. 224Tyrimas paremtas tekstynų inspiruota metodologija -empirinė medžiaga paimta iš dvikrypčio lygiagrečiojo tekstyno ParaCorp EN→LT→EN , kurį sudaro grožinės literatūros tekstai ir jų vertimai į anglų bei lietuvių kalbas. Straipsnyje pateikiama kiekybinė ir kokybinė šių anglų kalbos modalinių veiksmažodžių ir jų vertimo atitikmenų lietuvių kalboje analizė. Tyrimo tikslas yra nustatyti, koks modalumo tipas (episteminis, deontinis ar dinaminis) vyrauja veiksmažodžių must 'turėti/privalėti', have to ir have got to 'turėti/ reikėti' vartosenoje, kokie yra jų prototipiniai vertimo atitikmenys lietuvių kalboje ir kaip tie atitikmenys koreliuoja su reiškiamu modalumo tipu.
