    The Representation of Speech Events in

    Chariton’s Callirhoe and the Acts of the


    Apostles
    Author: Adrian T. Smith

    In The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton's Callirhoe and the


    Acts of the Apostles, Adrian T. Smith summarizes cross-linguistic
    research on how and why narrators vary the formulae that introduce
    direct speech. This research is applied to Chariton and to Acts. The
    ndings demonstrate that narrators vary quotation formulae for
    numerous pragmatic purposes, including the tracking of conversational
    dynamics via a set of 'marked' and 'unmarked' quotation devices.
