doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8921.2015.04.004

Abstract

Abstract: Based on evidentiality, this paper aims to conduct statistics and analysis towards 400 abstracts involving four disciplines named linguistics, computer science, medicine and economics by means of SPSS and EXCEL from the perspective of sensory evidential, reporting evidential, belief evidential and inferring evidential. The result shows that four disciplines make use of sensory evidential, reporting evidential, belief evidential and inferring evidential, with the low frequency of belief evidential. In terms of interpersonal meaning, evidentiality can be used for evaluating reliability of information, can be regarded as metadiscourse so as to guide readers to understand the texts, express attitudes towards propositions or readers.
