Salar rigorously distinguishes direct from indirect experience: if experience is perceived as indirect, utterances must be so marked. The corelation of direct and indirect forms with personal deixis (Givón 1984) in prototypical Salar utterances is very high. But the correlation varies depending on the discourse genre and participant stance. Evidential marking is thus context-sensitive and explored here as a pragmatic constraint.
