Projections "Within Clauses" [1]

Martin & Rose (2007: 51):
Projections can also be found within clauses, where they explicitly assign responsibility for opinions to sources. Tutu uses this resource four times in relation to claims of innocence, the meaning of ubuntu, reputations and the values of the new South African democracy:
Amnesty is not given to innocent people or to those who claim to be innocent.
This is a far more personal approach, which sees the offence as something that has happened to people and whose consequence is a rupture in relationships.
Many of those who have come forward had previously been regarded as respectable members of their communities
the new culture of respect for human rights and acknowledgment of responsibility and accountability by which the new democracy wishes to be characterised
These projections within clauses include ‘saying’ claim to be, ‘seeing’ sees, been regarded as and ‘feeling’ wishes to be.
