This paper examines the orientation of evidentials in complements of attitude verbs, with Paraguayan Guarani evidential ra’e as a case study. It argues that embedded ev-identials can be directed either towards the speaker or towards a matrix atti-tude-holder argument (e.g., the subject of the attitude verb), and that a syntactic rep-resentation of the evidence-acquisition event, with its pronominal subject, in the lower end of the CP field, is well-poised to capture this potential ambiguity. Lan-guage-particular properties can also play a determining role in the orientation of the embedded evidential, as is the case of subordinator ha in Paraguayan Guarani.
