Reported Discourse - A Meeting Ground for Different Linguistic Domains
The present volume unites 15 papers on reported discourse from a wide genetic and geographical variety of languages. Besides the treatment of traditional problems of reported discourse like the classification of its intermediate categories, the book reflects in particular how its grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic properties have repercussions in other linguistic domains like tense-aspect-modality, evidentiality, reference tracking and pronominal categories, and the grammaticalization history of quotative constructions.
Categorization is fundamental to all higher cognitive activity. Yet the seeing of sameness in difference raises deep philosophical problems. One extreme position, that of nominalism, claims that sameness is merely a matter of linguistic convention; the range of entities which may be called dogs, or the set of colours that may be described as red, have in reality nothing in common but their name. An equally extreme position is that of realism. Realism claims that categories like DOG and RED exist independently of language and its users, and that the words dog and red merely name these pre-existing categories.
