Summary/Abstract: The author of the paper analyses morphosyntactic means of expressing hearsay in several languages belonging to the Central European area. This includes constructions with the modal verb sollen in German, as well as, on the one hand, its functional equivalents with primarily possessive meaning in Czech, Slovak, Polish, Upper and Lower Sorbian, and, on the other hand, constructions of the incentive particle with the forms of the subjunctive mood in Slovene. It is shown that those constructions, despite their different origins, display essential correspondence in their usage; this may be regarded as one of the characteristic features of the Central European language affinity.
