Last week, I visited @citius.gal, the Research Centre on Intelligent Technologies at the @usc.gal, my annual visit as a member of CiTIUS' Scientific Advisory Board. Always great to see how well the Centre is doing. And always such a pleasure to enjoy beautiful Santiago de Compostela!

E.g., here they are compared to other spoken registers. The mean factor scores are similar, but the spread for podcasts (purple box) is huge.

3️⃣ The choice between indirect and direct speech may have to do with principles of information structure: how given or new the source is and the informational weight of the quoted content

2️⃣ Indirect speech is much more frequent than direct speech

Maite Taboada @mtaboada.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

But I also find out other cool things about the linguistics of quoting: 1️⃣ "say" is by far the most frequent quotative verb

I analyze a full years' worth of news stories and tell you what you already probably know: women are quoted way less than men (and non-binary people are absent)
