AB This chapter concerns evidentiality in Basque, focusing on the expressions corresponding to the following crosslinguistic hyperlexemes: the inferential evidentials MUST and SEEM, the reportive evidentials SAY, (BE) LIKE and ACCORDING TO, and the visual evidential SEE. The description, based on naturally occurring examples, shows that Basque has a number of idiosyncratic evidentials, but the expression of evidentiality in this language is essentially similar to that of some Indo-European languages such as English and Spanish in several respects: syntactic variety, coverage of different modes of gathering the evidence, polysemy of many evidentials and a strong semasiological relationship with epistemic modality.
