metadata.value: The article deals with epistemic responsibility from the perspective of a reader/listener.
  Viewed as a type of speaker commitment, epistemic responsibility is defined as responsibility
  for the reliability of what is reported. It is assumed to be verbalized through epistemic modals
  and evidentials. The relevance of the study is due to a high frequency of the term “commitment”,
  mainly in studies on the speech act theory, modality and evidentiality, combined with
  the insufficient theoretical development of the notion. The novelty of the study lies in the
  identification and description of cognitive and pragmatic features of epistemic responsibility
  attribution based on an experiment. Objectives of the research included assessing the perception
  of evidential-epistemic markers as epistemic responsibility indicators by native speakers
  of Russian, identifying communicative interaction aspects that influence epistemic responsibility
  attribution, as well as experimental verification of the epistemic responsibility model
  developed in our earlier studies. The analysis was carried out using a questionnaire designed
  specifically for this experiment. Respondents were students of non-linguistic areas of training
  (35 subjects). The study showed that Russian speakers perceive evidential-epistemic markers
  as epistemic responsibility indicators, and epistemic responsibility attribution is influenced
  by communication ethics and conventions. The findings proved the validity of the epistemic
  responsibility model under test. The research also yielded an improved interpretation of the
  epistemic responsibility concept, which can be considered, on the one hand, as the speaker’s
  mental state and, on the other hand, as a linguistic image of this state, determined by communication
  rules and the speaker’s intentions.
