The purpose of this paper is to examine evidentiality in reference to Central Asian context, in particular to Kazakh language. The first section proposes a problematic definition of evidentiality, firstly introducing the most common theories, subsequently analysing the peculiarities of Turkic indirectivity, as from a focused classification of evidential languages. The second section studies in depth the distinctive configuration of Kazakh language — the first work in Italian on this subject, as far as I am aware — to proceed with an accurate analysis of its verbal morphology. The third section focuses on prevailing thesis about Kazakh indirectivity, thereafter the author proposes her personal research confuting the above-mentioned theories.References
