Három uráli nyelv példáján keresztül mutatjuk be, hogy ezek a problémák miként manifesztálódhatnak, ha az egyes nyelvek inferencialitásáról számot kívánunk adni. A nganaszan és az udmurt nyelv azt szemlélteti, hogy a morfológiai evidencialitással bíró nyelvek esetén a szakirodalom, valamint a nyelvtanírói hagyomány hajlamos az inferencialitást pusztán a morfológiai evidencialitáson belül kezelni, ám ez az inferencia egyes típusainak, és az ezek kifejezésében szerepet játszó nyelvi elemek szempontjából is kizáró. A nganaszan emellett jól mutatja, hogy amennyiben egyéb nyelvi elemeket, jelen esetben lexémákat is figyelembe veszünk az inferencialitás kifejezése kapcsán, úgy a grammatikai részrendszerek (pl. igeidő, igemód) leírása is erősen módosul. A tundrai nyenyec példáján azt mutatjuk be, hogy egyazon nyelv eltérő prekoncepcióval történő elemzése (ti. ebben az esetben az egyes szuffixumok grammatikalizáltsági fokának megítélése) egymástól eltérő rendszerezést és funkcionális leírást eredményez, ami így az inferenciális jelentést kifejező kötött morfémák eltérő megítélésében jelentkezik. A megfigyelt kategorizációs problémák kiküszöbölésére egy olyan kategorizációs szempontot vetünk fel, amiben a morfológiai és lexikális elemek funkcionális szempontból egységesen kezelhetők. Ezt a javaslatot a bővebb adatoltság és elérhető anyanyelvi beszélők miatt az udmurt nyelv inferencialitásának példáján mutatjuk be.

We focus on problems related to the typological definitions of evidentiality and its characterization in connection with the Uralic languages. Our aims are twofold: on the one hand, we point out through the revision of evidentiality in Uralic that the definitions of typology are too restrictive when it comes to describing individual languages; on the other hand, we show what is known and what is unknown about evidentiality in Uralic in order to set out new directions of research. We propose that the questions of grammaticality and obligatoriness require a more flexible approach, and a scalar perspective should be applied when discussing these features of evidential markers. Considering the individual languages, it is necessary to widen the scope of research from morphological markers to other elements as well as to attempt to account for the connection of evidential elements with other semantic categories and for their use in discourse.

The study is corpus-based, with texts found in the annotated Nganasan Spoken Language Corpus (Brykina et al. 2018). The motivation of the study is to describe the various and complicated system of TAME categories in Nganasan. The analysis proves that a relation of the use of past tense and perfective aorist and their role in the storytelling may be motivated by ethnosyntactic factors. An ethnosyntactic base can be detected behind the use of the aorist-but full-fledged proof of this requires further investigation, into notions such as the "value" of time in the Nganasan culture. It seems that in the use of the aorist the prominence of the present moment and real-time of life is reflected. Labov's oral narrative structure description is applied to the Nganasan narratives as well. The research focuses on the relation of the beginning and the main parts, i.e. the Abstract/Orientation and Complicating Action. In Nganasan stories, we find sequences: typical beginnings and segments. These are well reflected in the tense of the foreground. A relevant part of the foreground can be the utterances of the characters that belong to the mainline. The two main strategies are the use of past tense and perfective aorist. It means that there are two basic story-telling temporal frames: perfective aorist and general past tense. The first one is more typical in the folklore genres. These two strategies can be combined with narrative/reportative evidentiality. Several aspects play a role in the "choice" of tense, one of the most important being the role of the speaker and their relationship to the story. This is well reflected, for example, between the introductory parts (Abstract and Orientation) and the dominant tense of the main story-line (Complicating action).

All verbs that can be associated with thinking and speaking are examined in
the texts found in the annotated Nganasan Spoken Language Corpus (Brykina et al. 2018). The approach as a whole is rather formal and quantitative, primarily focusing on which verbs are involved in constructing report speech. It can be shown that in the Nganasan texts, several verbs express utterances, but according to their number of occurrences, munu- ‘say’ is the most common and most frequently used verb of speaking. According to the distribution in the corpus data, it seems that the overall number of verb-of-speaking is not high.
