Syntactically encoded evidentiality in French? How do preschool children talk about non-witnessed events?

Abstract

The most frequently studied devices conveying evidentiality in adult and child French are lexical (verbs and adverbs) and morphological (mood and tense). Following research that has investigated syntactically encoded evidentiality in English and Standard Modern Greek, this study presents preliminary results on possible syntactic devices in French on the basis of naturalistic data from 16 children between 2;5 and 5;11.
