This monograph on indirect reports offers insights on the
semantics/pragmatics interface and a refinement of the notion of
explicature. The volume is written in an engaging style and guides
the reader through the theoretical problems and their
ramifications. The thorniest problem in the study of indirect
reports is their polyphonic nature, and how the listener
distinguishes between the reporter's voice and the original
speaker's voice, either by contextual clues or, in the absence of
such clues, by resorting to pragmatic principles. The introductory
chapter discusses the main issues that will be addressed in the
volume. The next chapters focus on the various aspects of indirect
reports, covering both theory and practical applications.
