They are d escribed as 'real-world' because they track the ways that speakers actual ly use expressions like 'said that' in messy\, theoretically unstable way s. They are 'lo-fi' because their content (a) often lacks propositional a nd locutionary fidelity to the original utterance\; and (b) their reporte d content is derived from contextual artifacts alongside the original lin guistic content. Then I will suggesta metaphysics of language around this phenomenon. I will briefly outline the implications for direct quotation \, linguistic content outside of reporting practices\, and a deflationary speaker- and token-based metaphysics of language.

In this talk I will describe a variety of real-world reporting practices\; I call them cases of 'low-fidelity sa me-saying'. They are described as 'real-world' because they track the way s that speakers actually use expressions like 'said that' in messy\, theo retically unstable ways. They are 'lo-fi' because their content (a) often lacks propositional and locutionary fidelity to the original utterance\; and (b) their reported content is derived from contextual artifacts alon gside the original linguistic content. Then I will suggesta meta physics of language around this phenomenon. I will briefly outline the im plications for direct quotation\, linguistic content outside of reporting practices\, and a deflationary speaker- and token-based metaphysics of l anguage.
