Reported Discourse within Grammar: Cross-Linguistic Insights

Reported discourse, as a universal feature of human language
(Haberland 1986: 219,  Coulmas 1986: 2, Jakobson 2010 : 96), has been
explored extensively with a diversity of approaches (see the
bibliography of Buchstaller 2012: xix-xx). Yet, some recent
typological studies of that phenomenon point towards the need for
reshaping our understanding of the way reported discourse functions
within the linguistic system (see the paper by Spronck and Nikitina
2019 and the discussion around it
https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/lingty-2019-0005/html
).

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on various
aspects of reported discourse in different languages. We invite
contributions on methodological issues, the typology of reported
discourse, and case studies based on original field data from
lesser-studied languages. We particularly welcome recent work and work
in progress by students and early-career researchers. The relevant
topics include the following:

the diversity of reported discourse constructions (constructions with
predicates other than speech verbs, speech-introducing noun phrases
etc.; constructions without reporting segments);
the origins, evolution and the range of uses of quotative markers
across languages;
the distinction — or a lack thereof — between direct and indirect
speech;
extended uses of reported discourse : the use of reported discourse
expressions to convey intention, evidentiality and other meanings;
logophoricity and the encoding of participants in the reported speech
situation;
the domain of demonstration, i.e. the relation between reported
discourse, gesture, and expressive elements such as interjections,
onomatopoeias and ideophones.

A special panel will be organized to discuss the syntax of reported
discourse, i. e. to explore the syntactic relationship between the
reporting segment and the reported segment across languages and how it
can be analyzed within various syntactic frameworks.

The workshop is organized by the ERC-funded project “Discourse
Reporting in African Storytelling”
(http://discoursereporting.huma-num.fr/index.html) and follows up on
two previous workshops
(http://discoursereporting.huma-num.fr/workshops.html). The workshop
will take place at LACITO (https://lacito.cnrs.fr/), a CNRS lab
located in Villejuif (reachable from Paris by metro), on July 5-7,
2023.

Abstracts should be at most 500 words, 12 font size Times New Roman,
in PDF format in English or French. Please send your submissions via
this link:  https://rdwg.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit
