INDIRECT SPEECH A VERY, VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW
INDIRECT SPEECH • An indirect speech sentence is a complex sentence structure consisting of the main clause (REPORTING CLAUSE (1)) and a subordinate clause (REPORTED CLAUSE (2)) which functions as a direct object. • Han Solo said (1), “I love you, Lea (2).” • Han Solo told Lea (1) that he loved her (2).
REPORTED CLAUSE • Depending on the sentence discourse type of the reported clause (statement, question, command, exclamation), the object nominal clause can be structurally realized in several ways:
CHANGES IN INDIRECT SPEECH • When converting DIRECT SPEECH TO INDIRECT SPEECH, changes occur because the conditions under which the utterance was produced changed: • BACKSHIFT of tenses (if the reporting verb is in the past tense) • CHANGES OF PRONOUNS (central and demonstrative) • ADJUNCTS OF TIME AND PLACE ALSO CHANGE • now > then • today > that day • here > there • Etc.
BACKSHIFT • BACKSHIFT is optional if the time reference of the original utterance is still valid at the time of reporting: • King Leonidas said that he was/*is a citizen of the world. • Leonidas said that nothing could/can harm a freedom-loving man. • I didn’t know that our meeting is/was next Thursday.
