Аннотация:This is a chapter in the issue of "Logical Analysis", 2019 = [Логический анализ языка. Понятие веры в разных языках и культурах. М.: Гнозис, 2019]. This volume was expected to appear in 2018, see the front page in the attached file, but finally appeared in 2019. I discuss epistemic predicates like the <abstract> operator SEEM and the intersection between the epistemic meanings and stage-level predicates directly or indirectly linked with the epistemic concepts. Keywords: epistemic predicates, inner states, outer states, relations, BE, SEEM, Russian, Bulgarian, Old Icelandic
