Abstract

Evidentiality as a grammatical category takes responsibility for the knowledge of the source of information for supporting the proposition, and it contains two types of information sources and effect on the audience. Grammatical elements differ in the evidentiality explanation in every language on the basis of language features. In such a case, wherethere is no possibilityof Evidentiality explanation in Grammar, lexical elements could be analyzed. In this paper, specific issues related to this phenomenon in Qasi'a Sermon are examined to understand Imam Ali's (AS) speech influence on the basis of the evidence, and information source and it has been demonstrated that how grammatical and non-grammatical makers are able to transfer the evidentiality in the Imam Ali's (AS) speech by descriptive analysis method. As a result, we confirm that lexical elements and Evidentiality strategies represent the maximum intuition and evidentiality referring to the Quran verses and logical argument.
