Represented Speech. There are three ways of reproducing actual speech:
a) Direct speech – repetition of the exact utterance as it was spoken;
b) Indirect speech – conversion of the exact utterance into the relater’s mode of expression;
c) Represented speech – representation of the actual utterance by a second person, usually the author, as if it had been spoken, whereas it has not really been spoken but is only represented in the author's words.
There is also a SD, called represented speech, which conveys to the reader the unuttered or inner speech of the character, thus representing his thoughts and feelings.
To distinguish between the two varieties of the represented speech we call the author's representation of the actual speech uttered represented speech, and the representation of the character's thoughts and feelings – unuttered or inner represented speech.
