In this way, a ‘corrective', distancing effect vis-à-vis the main proposition is obtained. Examples include He mailed you earlier today, he said and Did I want that? (she asked). In this article, I will argue that two structurally distinct subtypes of DIST have to be recognized, viz. ‘representational' and ‘scopal' DIST. I will discuss these as they manifest themselves in different registers (academic discourse, news reports, literary texts), and will associate them on the basis of this text analysis with distinct contextual usage types. Finally, I will relate representational and scopal DIST in terms of a cline of increasing subjectification. © Walter de Gruyter Sociolinguistics nationallicence reported speech nationallicence distancing indirect speech/thought nationallicence deixis nationallicence scope nationallicence subjectification nationallicence grammaticalization nationallicence Text - Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of Discourse Walter de Gruyter 24/4(2004-09-29), 547-585 0165-4888 24:4<547 2004 24 text https://doi.org/10.1515/text.2004.24.4.547 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/text.2004.24.4.547 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Vandelanotte Lieven NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Text - Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of Discourse Walter de Gruyter 24/4(2004-09-29), 547-585 0165-4888 24:4<547 2004 24 text CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
