This paper investigates tag questions in Chinese and English with reference to evidentiality.The author argues that tag questions play a special role in marking evidentiality,because they relate to(presuppositions about) knowledge and attitudes of the hearer as well as to what the speaker knows and believes.Multiple evidential functions are described for tag questions beyond the marking of uncertainty traditionally associated with them.
