Abstract: 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).

“…Its adverbial status and evidential epistemic meaning overlap have been discussed in fiction and academic discourse (Ruskan 2012(Ruskan , 2013. Despite the fact that there are a number of studies dealing with the functions and syntactic status of adjective-based CTPs in Lithuanian (Usonienė 2012(Usonienė , 2013(Usonienė , 2015Ruskan 2012Ruskan , 2013Ruskan , 2015, none of the studies have addressed the distribution and functions of tikėtina 'believable, likely' in present-day Lithuanian.…”

“…The abundant literature on evidentiality that surged after pioneering references such as Chafe and Nichols (1986) or Willett (1988) has mostly concentrated on grammatical markers of evidentiality (Aikhenvald 2004, among many others) and certain types of words or expressions such as adverbs and lexical verbs of perception or cognition (Celle 2009;Hennemann 2012;Ruskan 2015;Usonienė & Šinkūnienė 2013;Wiemer & Socka forthcoming). By contrast, this paper explores evidential expressions containing nouns, which have received comparably scant attention.…”

“…They have been thoroughly investigated in terms of their meaning, functions in discourse, structural and scopal properties in Germanic (Nuyts 2001;Wierzbicka 2006;Mortensen 2006;Simon-Vandenbergen & Aijmer 2007;Celle 2009;Carretero & Zamorano-Mansilla 2013), Romance (Marín-Arrese 2007Squartini 2008;Cornillie 2009Cornillie , 2010Cornillie & Gras 2015), Slavic (Tutak 2003;Wiemer 2006;Letuchiy 2010;Wiemer & Kampf 2012) and Baltic languages (Wiemer 2007(Wiemer , 2010Chojnicka 2012;Ruskan 2013Ruskan , 2015Šolienė 2013Usonienė 2013Usonienė , 2015Usonienė , 2016. In a number of the studies mentioned, evidential and epistemic adverbials have been considered within the conceptually distinct categories of evidentiality and epistemic modality.…”

“…In Lithuanian, inferential adverbials (matyt 'apparently, evidently', atrodo 'it seems', regis 'seemingly', akivaizdžiai 'evidently', aiškiai 'clearly') and reportative adverbials (esą 'they say', tariamai 'allegedly, supposedly', neva 'as if', žinia 'reportedly') have been discussed in Wiemer (2007Wiemer ( , 2010, Usonienė (2013Usonienė ( , 2015Usonienė ( , 2016 and Ruskan (2013Ruskan ( , 2015. The epistemic extensions of evidential markers have been addressed in intra-linguistic and cross-linguistic studies dealing with the adverbials matyt 'apparently, evidently', regis 'seemingly' and atrodo 'it seems' (Usonienė 2001(Usonienė , 2015(Usonienė , 2016Šinkūnienė 2012;Šolienė 2012;Usonienė & Šinkūnienė 2013).…”
