<div dir="ltr">Dear Denys,
<div>to add one more example, in Agul (Lezgic, Nakh-Daghestanian), the main speech verb 'say' in reported speech constructions sometimes introduces thoughts, not speech (see ex. 20 here:
<a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.academia.edu%2F3007166%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C698b5a43d2424a2f605608d5553c7465%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508640499267573&sdata=EAbMWGbz7Rv%2BodhQrf%2FbozB6BuHo%2Byqk85Z9Iexm9WM%3D&reserved=0">
https://www.academia.edu/3007166/</a>). </div>
<div>This is not found frequently, and there are dedicated verbs of thinking (complex verbs "thought + do"). These verbs of thinking do not introduce speech, as far as I know.</div>

Your thought that "explicitly marked reported thought (e.g. with a matrix verb commonly meaning 'think') is not interpreted as reported speech" is interesting, but wouldn't it be possible, on pragmatic grounds, for a verb meaning 'to think' to refer to an actual
utterance? For example:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction:ltr; margin:0; padding:0; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:11pt; color:black">
"Donald Trump thinks that he should be elected again."<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction:ltr; margin:0; padding:0; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:11pt; color:black">
could refer to Trump's actual utterance "I should be elected again".<br>
<br>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">At the risk of simply restating the two previous responses: I think that given the polyfunctionality and high frequency of quotative indexes not derived from verbs of speech crosslinguistically (as Ekkehard points out),
we should be careful to gloss a quotative index as 'say', rather than give it a more generic gloss, unless there is construction-independent evidence for a 'say' meaning of the lexeme (a point Bill McGregor also makes in a recent book chapter about quotative
indexes in several Australian Aboriginal languages: <span>McGregor, W. B. In: Robering, K. (Ed.) The 'say, do' verb in Nyulnyul, Warrwa, and other Nyulnylan languages is monosemic Events, Arguments and Aspects: Topics in the Semantics of Verbs, Amsterdam/Philadelphia:

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">That said (!), all descriptions about the polyfunctionality of reported speech constructions/quotative indexes I have seen replicate David's observation about colloquial Indonesian: reported speech constructions may
also be interpreted as reported thought, but explicitly marked reported thought (e.g. with a matrix verb commonly meaning 'think') is not interpreted as reported speech. If anyone has a counterexample to this observation I would be very interested!

<div class="m_-8951123884979018207PlainText">Dear Denys,<br>
<br>
even if this is not exactly the information you were hoping to get, it may<br>
still be of interest to you:<br>
<br>
- in a wide variety of Indo-European languages quotative markers derive<br>
from deomonstratives of manner, typically from the exophoric use (German<br>
so; French ainsi, etc.) in combination with verbs of saying or without.<br>
(cf. pp. 159 of the article attached)<br>
<br>
(i)"Bla, bla bla", so die Kanzlerin,...<br>
<br>
- as is shown in Güldemann (2008) - also quoted in my article - in many<br>
African languages manner demonstratives and non-deictic expressions of<br>
manner provide the main source of quotative markers and in many cases such<br>
expressions of manner have been reanalysed as verbs of saying [rather than<br>
the other way round].<br>
<br>
- similar sources of quotative markers can be observed in languages from<br>
other areas, e.g. in Japanese.<br>
<br>
Another example from my own language comes to mind: like Dutch (betekenis<br>
- bedoeling), but in contrast to English, German draws a distinction<br>
between sentence/word meaning (bedeuten) and speaker/utterance meaning<br>
(meinen). The latter verb can be used for both saying and thinking, at<br>
least in certain contexts (Karl meinte....'Karl thought/said').<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
