<DIV><FONT size=2>I think you might want to talk with David Quinto Pozos.
He is doing some fantastic work with constructed action. He is doing some
research on that and the use of classifiers. I have CC'd him on this
message. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Have you read the article by Miller and Poulin in Language
Gesture and Space? Liddell's article is more recent, but this is an
example in another SL. There also is the article by Aarons and Morgan from
SLS Vol 3 No 2 Winter 2003. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: Betreff: Quotatives</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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>
