Annotation

This paper proposes a model and a methodology for the research on pragmatic markers. The model integrates notions of reflexivity and indexicality with a perspective on modality and evidentiality that goes beyond truth-functional accounts. The methodology is illustrated, using the semantic field of ‘expectation’ in English, whilst considering equivalents of the pragmatic markers in Dutch and Swedish.
