Projection Summary

Martin & Rose (2007: 52):
In sum we have seen four ways in which projection is used to attribute sources: as projecting clauses, as names for speech acts, as projecting within clauses, and as scare quotes.  Examples of these are given in Table 2.6.

In sum:
  1. Martin & Rose do not account for the logico-semantic relation of projection at the discourse semantic level.
  2. Martin & Rose mistake the names of projections — locutions or ideas — for the names of "speech acts".
  3. To be clear, "projecting within clauses" encompasses projection relations between verbal groups in verbal group complexes and the assignment of identifying and attributive relations by projection.
  4. Martin & Rose misinterpret the attitudinal function of scare quotes as disowning an appraisal, rather than enacting one.
