Dear Denis:
The phenomenon you mentioned is very intresting. I guess it might have to do with the notion "logophoricity". This term, first introduced by Hagège in 1974 when described some African languages (in recent years, logophoricity was found in East Asian languages, such as Amdo Tibetan and Japanese dialects, see Bugaeva 2008; Ebihara 2014), refers to "the phenomenon in which the perspective or point of view of an internal protagonist of a sentence or discourse, as opposed to that of the current, external speaker" (Huang 2007: 266; see also Clements 1975; Culy 1994, 1997; etc.) For example, in "John said that Ben had seen him", the "him" must refer back to the matrix subject John if it is in logophoric form; on the contrary, if "him" is a regular pronoun, it stands for a person outside the context, David, Peter, whatever.
Bugaeva, Anna. 2008. Reported discourse and logophoricity in Southern Hokkaido dialects of Ainu. 言语研究Gengo Kenkyu. 133: 31-75.
Ebihara, Shiho. 2014. Logophoric pronouns in Amdo Tibetan. 思言 東京外国語大学記述言語学論集 第 10 号:3-12.
Yan, Huang. 2007. Pragmatics. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
Clements, George N. 1975. The logophoric pronoun in Ewe: its role in discourse. Journal of West African Languages 10(2), 141-177.
Culy, Christopher. 1994. Aspects of logophoric marking. Linguistics 32(5), 1055-1094.
Culy, Christopher. 1997. Logophoric pronouns and point of view. Linguistics 35 (1997), 845-859.
I hope this is somehow helpful for your questions.
Best wishes,
Chenlei

>Dear all,

>By ‘extended direct speech’, I mean constructions involving a main verb
>which is not a verb of saying and a subordinate clause which does not refer
>to a speech act, but in which first person pronouns or indexes in the
>subordinate clause behave exactly in the same way as in direct speech, in
>the sense that they do not refer to the speaker, but to the subject of the
>matrix clause. This pattern is regularly (although optionally) found in
>Jóola Fóoñi (aka Diola-Fogny, an Atlantic language of Senegal), in the
>complementation of ‘know’ and other cognitive verbs.
>
>
>
>For example, in Jóola Fooñi, ‘The childi knows that hisi mother worked hard
>for himi’ is commonly expressed as literally ‘The child knows that my mother
>worked hard for me’. The obvious explanation is that such a sentence can be
>paraphrased as ‘The child knows (something he could express by saying:) my
>mother worked hard for me’. One must therefore consider the possibility
>that, cross-linguistically, similar sentences occur more or less
>sporadically in spontaneous speech with a special intonation, as a ‘figure
>of speech’ of the type termed ‘anacoluthon’ in classical rhetoric. What is
>special in the case of Jóola Fóoñi is that such a formulation is
>stylistically neutral, does not necessitate a special intonation, and is not
>deemed deviant by speakers.
>
>
>
>I would be interested to know whether a similar routinization of ‘extended
>direct speech’ has been observed in other languages.
