Overview

"This collection of papers developed out of a workshop on ""Function and Form of Reported Speech"" at the 20th Annual Meeting of the German Linguistic Society. In addition to selected papers presented there, further contributions from scholars involved in this research were invited to provide papers that captured a wider genetic and geographical variety of languages and thus offer insights in cross-linguistic similarities and differences within this linguistic domain."
