Description
ABSTRACT In its title, the paper alludes to the monograph on mediaeval Russian reported speech by Daniel E. Collins (2001), a successful attempt at reanimating the voices silenced in the written record from the past by means of a historical-pragmatic analysis. The aims of the paper are the following: to test some aspects of this approach against Middle English data on the one hand, and to provide a pragmatic analysis of reported speech in selected Middle English texts from the Helsinki Corpus on the other.
