“The book is of great interest, both to those who deal with pragmatics and to those who deal with philosophy of language and cognitive Sciences. We recommend the book to both students and researchers interested in semantics, pragmatics and socio-pragmatics. … Summing up, Capone’s book is a highly interesting essay on indirect report, and I strongly recommend his book.” (Caterina Scianna, Pragmatics and Society, Vol. 10 (3), 2019)“The Pragmatics of Indirect Reports casts new light on the notoriously difficult issue of indirect reports. … This book is excellent and thought-provoking … The Pragmatics of Indirect Reports is a timely and welcome contribution, and will be of great interest not only to scholars working in the field of pragmatics, but also to those interested in the philosophy of language. … a useful and substantial volume, which will also inspire future researchers to undertake further explorations on this subject.” (Vahid Parvaresh, Australian Journal of Linguistics, May, 2017)“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)“The Pragmatics of Indirect Reports is not only a theoretical playground in which different theories are confronted, discussed, and deeply investigated. … it is an extremely valuable reference for studying and investigating reports and more generally interpretive problems. … The Pragmatics of Indirect Reports is an original work for scholars working in different disciplines, on a subject that is at the same time philosophically crucial, socially important, and almost neglected in philosophy and linguistics.” (Fabrizio Macagno, Intercultural Pragmatics, Vol. 14 (2), 2017)“This monograph greatly benefits from the truly interdisciplinary perspective that the author adopts on the broadly defined phenomenon of indirect reporting, illustrating both its cognitive and its communicative dimension. … should be compulsory reading both for those who are in need of a first thorough introduction to the variegated domain of indirect reporting and for those who are in need of an in-depth discussion of the many complexities that arise in this domain and that deserve a serious interdisciplinary treatment.” (Denis Delfitto and Gaetano Fiorin, Journal of Linguistics, 2017)
