This study adopts a context-sensitive and functional approach to
the qualitative analysis of Spanish linguistic means that are used
to convey evidential meanings. Verbs of cognitive attitude, modal
adverbs, modal verbs, the Spanish conditional and the synthetic
future are analysed against the background of pragmatics.
GlossaNet, a search engine that supports the researcher to build a
corpus, was used to collect the examples analysed in this study.
Furthermore, as evidentiality is - at least in Spanish - a
linguistic category that overlaps with other semantic-functional
categories, namely epistemic modality, deixis, subjectivity and
polyphony, it is argued that the superordinate category speaker's
perspectivisation should be imposed on these categories.
