The TAME domain in Baltic and its neighbours. An introduction
Abstract
This article outlines the aims, methodological approaches and research topics of the thematic volume Studies in the TAME Domain in Baltic and Its Neighbours. It also briefly characterises the individual contributions to the volume, highlighting

evidentiality/mirativity.
