In the present article it is hypothesized that epistemic markers are combined in texts and together constitute an epistemic background. To verify this an automatic corpus based co-occurrence analysis was performed. Based on the quantitative results, subcategories of epistemic markers were defined. These were later established theoretically using the common-ground model of Stalnaker. The constitution of common ground was then qualitatively analyzed on the basis of selected texts.
