Abstract

In Yurakaré (isolate, Bolivia), the inferential evidential =tiba has a secondary use in a mirative construction marking unexpected information. This paper proposes that the synchronic interactional uses of =tiba plausibly reflect a diachronic process, namely an emerging semantic extension from inferential to mirative. It is argued that interactional structure is the driving force behind this semantic extension of =tiba, which demonstrates the importance of interactional structure as a factor in language change.
