On the exceptionality of reported speech

Abstract

1 The notion of a world being compatible with what was said/believed/etc. can be further explicated in possible worlds theory. The locus classicus for the analysis of indirect speech as an intensional operator is Kaplan (1989). 2 Here and below I present Faller's glosses of Cuzco Quechua data, using her abbreviations for affixes and enclitics: PROG = progressive; 3 = third person; DIR = direct evidential; REP = reportative evidential; PL = plural; ILLA = illative; TOP = topic; ACC = accusative case; INCL = inclusive; LOC = locative case; PP = past participle; ADD = additive; 1O = first person object recipient; SURP = surprise; NEG = negative (Faller 2002:xiii-xiv).

Who Perceives? Who Thinks? Anchoring Free Reports of Perception and Thought in Narratives

“…(Hinterwimmer, 2017b: 297) Viewpoint Shifting and FID are licensed pragmatically, via the accommodation of a related event (perceiving event or speech/thought act for Viewpoint Shifting and FID, respectively) on the part of the reader/hearer. According to Hinterwimmer, data like the above motivates the need for two distinct semantic analyses of the two phenomena (see also Maier, 2019). Abrusán (2018Abrusán ( , 2019 proposes a distinct approach.…”

Quotations and Quotatives

“…For formal semantics, the referential properties of direct speech present an interesting anomaly since it disrupts the idea that deictic elements can be given a truth value with respect to the current discourse context (→Formal semantics). This also implies a rather strict division between indirect speech, which can be treated as representatives of a class of attitude ascriptions more generally and quotation proper (Maier 2019).…”
