The present study examined three to six-year-old Korean-learning children's production and comprehension of evidentials (esp., indirect inference and hearsay markers), and whether the development of Theory of Mind(ToM) contributes to the development of evidential understanding and use. The production of hearsay marker(-tay) became reliable after four years of age and yet, development of comprehension of this marker was delayed until 6 years. Indirect inference marker, -kes kata, by comparison, begin to develop rapidly after 5 years of age in both production and comprehension. Development of ToM showed positive correlations with evidential comprehension and production(in particular, production of indirect inference). However, its unique contribution to evidential development was difficult to tease apart due to its high correlation with age.
