Abstract
Evidentiality concerns with how the speaker achieved the information and the way it was conveyed to the addressee. The languages which have evidentiality have an indication through which the hearer understands that whether the speaker has seen the act himself, heard it from someone, inferred or just assumed it. Even though Persian does not have evidentiality but it has some evidentiality strategies such as mood, perception verbs, quotations and passives, oaths and pronouns. The present study aims at investigating the relation between evidentiality and characterization in Pellekan, a play by Akbar Radi, so as to answer A) what evidentiality strategy dose the author use in characterization and B) what evidentiality strategy do the characters use in interaction with one another? In order to answer these questions, the dialogues in which the author informs his readers about a character and those in which the characters show their own charcaters in conversation have been investigated and based on the findings it was clarified that direct evidentiality was of greater use by both the author as well as the characters.
