The book is a comprehensive study of the evidential system in German. It focuses on the constructions scheinen seem , drohen threaten , versprechen promise + zu-infinitive, and werden become + infinitive. The main idea is that with the diachronic development of these constructions we are witnessing the genesis of a new grammatical category in German.
