Evidentiality
In linguistics, evidentiality is, broadly, the indication of the nature of evidence for a given statement; that is, whether evidence exists for the statement and if so, what kind. An evidential (also verificational or validational) is the particular grammatical element (affix, clitic, or particle) that indicates evidentiality. Languages with only a single evidential have had terms such as mediative, médiatif, médiaphorique, and indirective used instead of evidential.
Examples of use of evidential
1. "We are always looking for evidential opportunities.
2. There are compelling evidential grounds to defend this case.
3. J. Simpson had beaten his wife was of evidential value.
4. And that was evidential by Palestinian dependence on the international community.
5. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said there were "compelling evidential grounds" to defend the case.
