Although
in thought presentation the basic categories are the same as for speech
presentation, the effects of the categories are sometimes different for
thought, compared with speech, as we have seen in Task A. So we will label
the thought presentation categories separately, but parallel to the speech
presentation categories, as follows:
Speech presentation
Direct speech (DS)
Free indirect speech (FIS)
Indirect speech (IS)
Narrators representation of speech act (NRSA)
Narrators representation of voice (NV)
Thought presentation
Direct thought (DT)
Free indirect thought (FIT)
Indirect thought (IT)
Narrators representation of thought act (NRTA)
Narrators representation of thought (NT)
Below are five instances of thought presentation.
Place the sentences in what you think are the appropriate places on the
scale below and compare your answers with ours.
