boli – complementizer strategy
boli as reported speech marker may only be introduced by a verb of speech;
(Especially clear in the cases where the lexical verb of speech is bos (RS + boli bo/boli). Same is (less convincingly) true of the extended uses of boli in purposive clauses - even though circumstancial, not introduced by a matrix verb)
unlike converb/evidential boli, may not have its own arguments

Summary of strategies

-er strategy – complementizer?
Possesses predicative properties:
introduces its own arguments (speaker and addressee); may result in having several ergatives in what seems to be one clause
may have its own auxiliary

-er strategy – subordinating verb of
speech?A contra: it is cliticized to the reported
speech clause
underwent phonetic change (wa-r -> -er) triggers word internal sandhi (-u+e- -> -o-)

-er strategy
Possesses predicative properties:
introduces its own arguments (speaker and addressee may have its own auxiliary
but:
is a closely bound clitic

What is it like?Overlap of two essentially different components – description of the reported speech act and the content of the reported speech. The two components are not juxtaposed – they are intertwined:
well,
he said
who will be able,
he said
them in front of everbody
to kill
headman
reported speech act
reported speech
linear order
