Françoise ROSE (DDL) : "A preliminary survey of discourse and evidentiality markers in Mojeño Trinitario"
This talk will present 5 discourse markers and 1 evidentiality marker (a reportative) in Mojeño Trinitario. These six forms do not form a paradigm: two are independent words, two are suffixes and two are clitics. They can combine. The discourse markers are either used to build the intersubjective relationship between speaker and hearer or for speech organization. The uses of the reportative will be investigated in depth, showing that it may actually not be a 'true' reportative, contrarily with what basic facts suggest.
