本文研究了直接间接引语与说话人自己的谈话分开的方式。本文利用俄语会话材料的语料库，研究了在日常谈话中间接引语的起始和偏移标记的方法。分析表明，在大多数情况下，引文在开始和结束时通过各种手段与其他谈话分离，包括语法框架、重新锚定手段和开始时的韵律变化，以及一些重新定位手段和顺序组织方法来抵消它们。然而，也有一些模棱两可的情况，即在引用之后出现的一段特定的谈话既没有被清楚地与引用分开，也没有被清楚地标记为引用的一部分。这种情况，在这项研究中被称为“淡出”，似乎具有特定的互动功能，允许说话者处理几个潜在的问题。本研究的结果证明了在真实会话数据的基础上研究语言现象的重要性，并表明报告的语言边界划分（或不划分）的不同方式为参与者提供了一套他们可以用于各种互动目的的工具。(C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
This article investigates ways in which direct reported speech is set apart from the current speaker's own talk. Drawing on a corpus of conversational Russian materials, the article examines ways in which the onset and the offset of reported speech are marked in ordinary talk. The analysis shows that in most cases quotations are separated from other talk at their beginnings and ends through a variety of devices including grammatical framing, re-anchoring devices, and prosodic shifts for their onset and several repositioning devices and sequence organization practices for their offset. There are, however, ambiguous cases when a particular stretch of talk occurring after a quote is neither clearly separated from the quote nor clearly marked as being part of it. Such cases, referred to in this study as 'fading out,' appear to have specific interactional functions allowing the speaker to deal with several potential problems. The findings of this study demonstrate the importance of studying linguistic phenomena on the basis of real conversational data and suggest that the different ways in which reported speech boundaries are demarcated (or not) provide participants with a set of tools they can employ for a variety of interactional purposes.
