Indirect Speech Interpretation

Indirect Speech Interpretation - Practice by which the speaker's utterances are rendered into the target language indirectly, changing pronouns and prefacing renditions with words such as, "he said," or "she said."  An indirect speech interpretation of the words, "I have three children," is "She says she has three children," as opposed to, "I have three children."
