Abstract

Apesar da extensa investigação que tem sido feita sobre o fenómeno da evidência no discurso, ou seja, a codificação da fonte de informação, ainda existem discrepâncias terminológicas e conceptuais que precisam de ser consideradas. Este artigo apresenta uma discussão teórica de probabilidades. Começa com um exame do campo da evidência em termos gramaticais e semânticos, terminando com uma compreensão completa do conceito como um domínio funcional-conceptual. A discussão centra-se também na relação entre a evidência e o modo epistémico, uma vez que esta é ainda uma questão em aberto no terreno. Apoiamos que sería necessário um estudo abrangente de formas probatórias concretas, tais como a apresentação de provas, como uma continuação dinâmica desta revisão bibliográfica.
