Evidencialidad, fuerza asercional y manejo del common ground en el quechua de Conchucos

Abstract

The literature on Quechuan languages describes the enclitics =mi and =chi as markers of evidentiality, with the former indicating direct evidence and the latter marking conjecture or inference. In this paper, I argue that in Conchucos Quechua they can be better characterised as markers of two degrees of assertional force, which the speakers use for common ground management purposes. For this, I present an analysis of semi-controlled conversational data under the question-under-discussion model of discourse structure. Additionally, I offer a preliminary version of how these functions could be formalised in such a theoretical framework using the model of the Table.La literatura sobre las lenguas quechuas describe los enclíticos =mi y =chi como marcadores evidenciales: el primero indicando evidencia directa y el segundo marcando conjetura o inferencia. Sostengo que en el quechua de Conchucos estos enclíticos se pueden caracterizar mejor como marcadores de dos grados de fuerza asercional, los que son usados por los hablantes para el manejo del common ground. Para ello, presento un análisis de datos dialógicos semi-controlados bajo el modelo de estructura del discurso question-under-discussion. Adicionalmente, ofrezco una formalización preliminar de sus funciones en este marco teórico utilizando el modelo del tablero
