In verbal communication, the hearer takes advantage of the linguistic expressions of certainty and evidentiality to assess how committed the speaker might be to the truth of the informational content of the utterance. Little is known, however, about the precise developmental mechanism of this ability. In this chapter, we approach the question by elucidating factors that are likely to constrain young children's understanding of linguistically encoded certainty and evidentiality, including the types of linguistic form of these expressions, namely, grammaticalized or lexical forms.
在言语交流中，听者会利用表示确定性和证据性的语言表达来评估说话者对语句信息内容真实性的认同程度。然而，对于这种能力的确切发展机制，我们却知之甚少。在本章中，我们将通过阐明可能会限制幼儿对语言编码的确定性和证据性理解的因素来探讨这个问题，这些因素包括这些表达的语言形式类型，即语法化形式或词汇形式。
