Beskrivning

This monograph on indirect reports offers insights on the semantics/pragmatics interface and a refinement of the notion of explicature. The volume is written in an engaging style and guides the reader through the theoretical problems and their ramifications. The thorniest problem in the study of indirect reports is their polyphonic nature, and how the listener distinguishes between the reporter’s voice and the original speaker’s voice, either by contextual clues or, in the absence of such clues, by resorting to pragmatic principles. The introductory chapter discusses the main issues that will be addressed in the volume. The next chapters focus on the various aspects of indirect reports, covering both theory and practical applications.

"The fourteen chapters of the book provide a logical and thorough source of information on indirect reports. The author provides many examples in every chapter and gives the interested researchers a good incentive to read and understand the concepts discussed. ... a valuable source for graduate and undergraduate students, their instructors, and researchers. The book is recommended to all those who are interested in pragmatics, linguistics, syntax, and also to those who wish to do further research in the area." (Azizeh Chalak, International Journal of Language Studies, Vol. 11 (1), January, 2017)
