DESCRIPTION:Evidentiality\, which we understand as the verbal marking of 
 the information source (Aikhenvald\, 2004\, p. 1)\, is a feature that\, 
 according to many linguists\, is not present in most European languages.
  (Aikhenvald\, 2004\; Plungian\, 2010).  In this talk I will show\, usin
 g the example of the German verb “sollen” and the Czech “mít+infinitive”
  (“to have”+infinitive) that although one cannot speak of “true evidenti
 ality” in the form of morphological marking\, Czech and German have a qu
 ite grammaticalized means of marking that the uttered information has be
 en mediated.\nThe two verbs in question are classified as “modal verbs” 
 in the grammars\, but in my talk I show\, based on a questionnaire study
 \, that a more or less clear boundary can be drawn between modal and evi
 dential use of “sollen”/”mít+infinitive”. Furthermore\, I propose a four
 fold typological differentiation of indirect mediated evidentials for bo
 th languages\, to which I add the Czech marker “prý” and the German cond
 itional mood (Konjunktiv I). Finally\, I address the question of languag
 e contact and evidentiality\, since the evidential construction “have+in
 finitive” exists in all West Slavic languages and is more or less identi
 cal in meaning to the German “sollen”.\n\nAikhenvald\, A. Y. (2004). Evi
