This study uses some of the possibilities offeredby electronic corpora in conjunction with concordancetools, which allow quantitative analysis. Thanks to this quantitative analysis, followedby a qualitative interpretation of thefindings, we could detect the pragmatic functionthese evidential items have in contextual use,allowing us to see that evidentiality in medicaldiscourse is intended in a slightly different wayfrom general discourse.
