Abstract. The purpose of the research is to identify the features characterising the correlation between epistemic modality and evidentiality in Turkish and Japanese. The relationship between epistemic modality and evidentiality is one of the most ambiguous issues when considering evidentiality. Just as the category of evidentiality manifests itself differently in each language, so the issue of the correlation between epis-temic modality and evidentiality has a special solution in each language. Scientific novelty of the paper lies in conducting a comparative study of the said issue in Turkish and Japanese. We have not found any studies that address the issue of the correlation between epistemic modality and evidentiality in the Japanese and Turkish languages in a comparative aspect. The available research on Japanese or Turkish is often contradictory: the definition of admirativity in Turkish, the identification of markers of epistemic modality and evidentiality in Japanese - these issues cause a lot of controversy. As a result, it has been proved that the interaction of the two categories is particularly evident in the Turkish language when using inferential evidentiality; in the Japanese language, it is the case when it comes to hearsay evidentiality. The inte-raction of the two categories generates a new meaning of evidentiality in the Turkish language, i.e. mirativity.
