Evidentiality has received in recent years great attention in studies with typological, descriptive, and functional approaches. However, a range of issues such as the evolution of evidentials by grammaticalization, evidential strategies, the communicative function of evidentials in interaction, and variations of evidentials in dialects need further investigation. To address this gap, this edited volume consisting of 12 chapters, jointly prepared by the Department of Contemporary Turkic Languages and Literatures at Hacettepe University and the Turcology Department at Johannes Gutenberg University, aims to contribute to the fields of semantics, sociolinguistics, dialectology, historical linguistics, and morphology by focusing on Turkic languages in the framework of evidentiality.
