 | | Evidentials of Cusco Quechua Cusco Quechua, as well as most other Quechua varieties, has three enclitics that have been claimed to be evidentials: the Direct evidential -mi (with allomorph -n), which is the focus of the present study, the Reportative evidential -si (with allomorph -s), and the Conjectural evidential -chá. |
 | | In his analysis, the evidential enclitics constitute radial categories, the meanings of which are represented as semantic nets. |
 | | Such research is already in progress: Floyd (1999) also discusses the enclitics -si and -chá for Wanka Quechua within the framework of prototype theory, and Faller (2002) discusses the corresponding enclitics as well as the evidential past tense morpheme -sqa for Cusco Quechua. |
