Evidentiality, Modality and Speaker’s Stance as Register Features in Galen’s Medical Discourse

Workshop B07 – Categorizing Knowledge and Knowledge Reference in Galen: Perspectives from different fields

The workshop aims at initiating an exchange between experts of philology, history of medicine, philosophy and linguistics on the different types of knowledge and evidence Galen refers to in his texts and the linguistic means he uses to make them explicit. The goal is to integrate different perspectives and ideas on the role of evidentiality and epistemic standards in Galen’s medical texts.
