Abstract

This paper investigates the epistemic use of the German modal mag. Recent studies have suggested that it might be developing into a concessive marker, possibly losing its epistemic component of assessing the factuality of a proposition. Using a corpus‑based analysis of its context features, this paper argues that mag still retains some of its epistemic characteristics and is functionally close to markers of irrelevance.
