Clause‑typing and Evidentiality in Ecuadorian Siona is an in-depth linguistic study of Ecuadorian Siona, a Western Tukanoan language, exploring its unique clause‑typing system. Unlike most languages where evidentiality is purely a semantic category, Siona has a dedicated reportative clause type for reported information, which functions like assertion, interrogation, and commands—each with its own subject‑agreement morphology. Bruil’s work analyzes this system synchronically and diachronically, providing detailed insight into its morphology, semantics, phonology, and nominal morphology, and sheds new light on the broader categories of evidentiality and clause‑typing in human language
