This paper presents a re-evaluation of the Lhasa Tibetan Evidentials and focuses on its atypical functions with control verbs. I present the use of the intentional egophoric with non-SAPs and control verbs when the speaker refers to personal knowledge and I discuss some of its restrictions. Then, I present the atypical uses of the sensorial, factual and inferential evidentials. Some of these functions have been previously noted by Agha (1993), Tournadre (1994, 1996, 2003), Denwood (1999), Garrett (2001), Vokurková (2008) and DeLancey (1985, 1997, 2001). Based on Tournadre’s analysis (2003), in which he explains the correlation between the egophoric and intentionality, I show in this paper that when the degree of intentionality is either not involved (but not unintentional) or is only partly involved, the sensorial, factual and inferential can be used with the SAP and control verbs. I also present the notion of intentionality out of focus and lower intentionality to describe these two cases. Then, I treat ‘intentionality out of focus’ in greater detail, showing that one can distinguish five different ways of reducing the focus on intentionality.
