Abstract

This study contributes to the analysis of the epistemic modal and evidential use of the Spanish with regard to the speaker’s stance and subjectively (rather than grammatically) motivated decision to use the Spanish as an evidential strategy in journalistic texts: The speaker uses the Spanish to express or tell a state of affairs from his perspective as a ‘narrator’, implying that he is not the author of such information and referring to third sources without mentioning it. The corpus data were obtained from the (CREA) from the section ‘written journalistic texts’ of the standard Iberian Spanish to guarantee the authenticity of examples and avoid any case of misunderstanding it as a variety of Spanish.
