ppt of Direct and indirect speech MADE BY UTSAV KUMAR

2. Direct speech is also called direct
discourse. It is a report of the exact
words used by a speaker or writer.
Contrast with indirect speech. Direct
speech is usually placed
inside quotation marks and
accompanied by a reporting verb,
signal phase or quotation frame.

3. EXAMPLE OF DIRECT
SPEECH

6. When a speaking event is reported via direct
speech forms, it is possible to include many features
that dramatize the way in which an utterance was
produced. The quotative frame can also
include verbs which indicate the speaker's manner of
expression (e.g. cry, exclaim, gasp), voice quality
(E.G - mutter, scream, whisper), and type of emotion
(e.g. giggle, laugh, sob). It can also
include adverbs (e.g. angrily, brightly, cautiously,
hoarsely, quickly, slowly) and descriptions of the
reported speaker's style and tone of voice.

8. MIXING DIRECT AND
INDIRECT SPEECH
 The mixture of direct and indirect forms within single sentences is not
uncommon in newspaper reporting. Extracts [12], [13], and [14] are brief
examples of the style and show how the topic character,
called MacLaine in [12], Kennedy in [13], and Louie in [14], can be
the referent of both third person (she/he) and first-person pronouns
(I/my) within the same sentence.[12] MacLaine concedes that one of the
reasons she has had no major romantic involvement "for a while" is
that she "would have to find a man who shared my spiritual beliefs."
[13] Kennedy has toned down the punk look and vows "not to blurt out
exactly what I think."
[14] When he was in the fourth grade at St. Joseph of the Palisades
Elementary School, his teacher warned Louie's father, William, a real-
estate broker, "that I might be hanging round with the wrong types of
boys."
