TIPOVI TUĐEG GOVORA U ROMANU LjUDI BEZ GROBOVA ENESA HALILOVIĆA

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the identification of types of reported speech in the novel Ljudi bez grobova by Enes Halilović, with a specific focus on the subtypes that result from variations of the two grammaticalized types of conveying reported speech: direct and indirect speech. The aim of our research is twofold: (a) to observe all types of direct and indirect speech found in the novel, and (b) to shed light on syntactic and stylistic effects achieved through their usage. The theoretical and methodological framework of the paper is based on Kovačević 2012a, 2012b, 2023. By applying analyticaldescriptive method, examples are excerpted to illustrate the following types of reported speech: regular direct speech, dialogue replica or unintroduced direct speech, introduced free direct speech, fragmented quotation or fragmented direct speech, non-verbatim direct speech, spoken and unspoken (contemplated) direct speech, direct monologic speech, gnomic direct speech. Among the types of indirect speech, the most commonly used are regular indirect speech and non-connective indirect speech, while expressive indirect speech, verbatim indirect speech and semi-free indirect speech are attested by fewer examples.
