style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid">Quotatives
introduce speech and actions that appear to be direct quotations or
demonstrated actions, and attribute them to the subject. And example in
English is<BR><BR>(1) And he's all, "La, la, la.." (looking around not
paying attention)<BR>(2) And mom's all, "Are you wearing that?"<BR><BR>So
the action exmplified by humming and not paying attention are attributed to
"he". The "you" in (2) actually refers to the speaker. A German example
would be<BR><BR>(3) Und ich so: Mensch! Wie kannst du sowas sagen?<BR><BR>So
the "du" doesn't refer to the adressee in the immediate context, but to
someone in the narrated event. A final example is Sanskrit "iti" which can
be used to introduce literal quotations, but can also be used to discuss
states of mind, intention, etc. in something analogous to "I'm going to
Grandma's house ITI she went into the forest." Note that in none of these
cases can one infer that anyone actually *said* anything.<BR><BR>I'd like to
think that ASL (and SLs in general) has a very rich set of
these.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Dan.<BR><BR><BR>
