The aim of the article is to analyze relations between the type of use of modal/evidential markers and their syntactic properties (part of speech and linear position). The analysis is based on the uses of the Russian polysemous markers  vrode  ‘similar’,  kak budto (by)  ‘as if’,  budto (by ) ‘as though’,  kažetsja  ‘(it) seems’ and  poxože  ‘similar’. All of them have non-evidential (mainly modal and comparative) and evidential uses. I draw the conclusion that the reportive meaning is more contextually restricted than the inferential one, and that the syntactic position of the marker depends on the degree of contextual dependence of the given reading. Besides that, I conclude that we must postulate two different units of the Database for  budto (by), kak budto (by), kažetsja  and  poxože,  but only one unit for  vrode.

Syntactic change and shifts in evidential meanings: four Russian units
