The paper presents a study on the use of the complement-taking mental verb glauben (to believe) as a means to hedge utterances. One the basis of three large interview corpora, diatopic and diachronic differences in the particle-like use of first-person-forms (glaub(e)) are explored. By means of the results of the corpus analysis, the status of the ongoing grammaticalization process of glaub(e) as a modal particle is discussed.
