John Lyons on Indirect Speech - Dictionary of Arguments
I 177 Indirect Speech/Lyons: in antiquity (Latin), it was quite possible that a whole speech was reproduced as indirect, whereby each section must be understood as separate according to the traditional view. All are individually dependent on a "verb of saying". I 257 Indirect Speech/Tradition/Lyons: e.g. Dico te venisse (I say you came) can be created in two steps: 1. direct form: Tu venisti 2. indirect form through "dico". Chomsky: (see below) it is not the sentence itself, but the (Tu) venisti underlying deep structure that is "embedded" as an object to dico. >> embedding, >Deep structure. Embedding/indirect speech/Latin/Tradition/Ambiguity/Lyons: it is known that embedding in indirect speech can lead to ambiguity: Example: Dico Clodiam amare Catullum. ((s) Everyone can be subject as well as object). Neutralization/Problem: both nouns are in the accusative. >Quotation._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
