grammaticalization of 'say' as complementizer

[Matthew Dryer]

Last winter I put a query on Funknet regarding the grammaticalization of 
verbs meaning 'say' as complementizers.  Below, very belatedly, is a 
summary of sources I was referred to, for those who are interested.

My thanks to all those who responded to my query.
