Questions are raised as to: (1) What is the structure of reported speech in Japanese? (2) What is the principle governing the selection of styles of reported speech? (3) What are the pedagogical implications of this study? First, a survey of the literature is presented pertaining to the historical background of discourse analysis and second language pedagogy in terms of their theoretical foundations. Then, an analysis of problem (1) Is presented In which, unlike the conventional treatment of reported speech in Japanese, four different types of reported speech are proposed: Direct Quotation, Semi Direct Quotation, Semi Indirect Quotation, and Indirect Quotation. Question (2) is then pursued and a generalization is obtained, which presents two hypotheses: "The Correlation between Communicative Orientation and Reported Speech" and The Correlation between Information Structure and Reported Speech." Question (3) is treated in the framework of the interlanguage hypothesis.
