In this paper, I will review Davidson’s paratactic account of indirect reports, the attacks leveled against it, and the support it received. I will then provide data from Persian which seem to support the idea that neither Davidson and his proponents nor his opponents were completely right, and that an adequate theory of indirect reports is doomed to be semantico-pragmatic in nature.

波斯数据证实了哪种间接报告观点？

在本文中，我将回顾戴维森对间接报告的比喻描述，针对它的攻击以及得到的支持。然后，我将提供来自波斯语的数据，这些数据似乎支持以下观点：戴维森及其支持者和反对者都不完全正确，间接报告的适当理论注定在语义上是语用的。
