Children's ability to exercise selective trust is crucial for the development of their knowledge and successful socialization. For speakers of some languages, evidentials, which are grammatical source-of-knowledge markers, could provide valuable support of these processes. Focusing on Bulgarian, this chapter situates children's use of evidentials in reliability judgments within the broader context of research on decision making and foregrounds the role of informational goals in children's decisions.
儿童运用选择性信任的能力对于其知识发展和成功融入社会至关重要。对于某些语言的使用者而言，作为语法性知识来源标记的证据词，可能会为这些过程提供宝贵的支持。本章以保加利亚语为研究重点，将儿童在可靠性判断中对证据词的运用置于更广泛的决策研究背景下，并突出信息目标在儿童决策中的作用。
