Despite the extensive search that has been done on the phenomenon of evidentiality in the discourse, i.e. the coding of the information source, there are still terminological and conceptual discrepancies that need to be laid out. The present paper presents a theoretical framework of evidentiality. It starts with an examination of the scope of evide...

Women have traditionally been defined in journalistic studies as the 'unaccessed voice group' due to their underrepresentation in most media coverage, a fact commonly described in linguistics as 'symbolic annihilation' (Caldas-Coulthard 2002; Armstrong 2004). Although many scholars state that linguistic stereotypes have been weakening over time, th...
