The fact that an indirect report is normally the host of two voices, the reporter and the reported speaker, which normally blend but which it is the task of the hearer/reader to separate,wheneverpossible,meansthatindirectreportsarethekeytoadialogical perspectiveonlanguage.Minimally,anindirectreportisthecompressionofamini- dialogue;hence,inquiringintothistopicamountstoinquiringintopolyphony.The topicofindirectreportsisprettybroad.Itincludesbeliefreportsand‘dese’attitude ascriptions as special cases of indirect reports (as pointed out in Capone 2016). Furthermore, one who undertakes to study this topic has to inquire into the issue of language games (as pointed out in Capone 2016), a chapter of Wittgensteinian linguisticsand,atthesametime,ofsocietalpragmatics.Ihavealsonoticedthatthe connectionbetweendirectandindirectreportshastobepursuedseriouslyandnot only because there are cases of mixed indirect reports, parts of which are marked by the grammatical device of quotation marks. Even when there are no explicit quotationmarks,theissueofblendingofdirectandindirectdiscoursearises.Iwould normally take indirect reports to be mixed reports where the quotation marks are providedimplicitly.Anyway,thisisanideawhichhastobepursuedandexplored carefully. The very idea of polyphony, which I have embraced in Capone (2016), seems to lead in the direction of merging the issue of direct and indirect reports. In any case, it is good to have some studies that directly explore the connection between direct and indirect reports. Are the differences more important than the similarities? Is opacity semantic in direct reports while it is pragmatic in indirect reports?Theseareimportantquestions,awaitingsolidanswers. v vi Introduction It may be promising to see whether the mechanisms of indirect reports can be very different in the world languages.
