{"product_id":"unlocking-indirect-discourse-stephen-peridore-9798180513083","title":"Unlocking Indirect Discourse: The Complete Guide for ESL Learners and Teachers","description":"The Reported Speech Code is a comprehensive manuscript designed to demystify one of the most difficult structures in the English language: indirect discourse. Moving beyond the oversimplified 'transformation charts' found in standard textbooks, this book introduces the 'Reporting Situation Framework.' This framework teaches learners to view reported speech as a translation of perspective rather than a mechanical grammar exercise. The book systematically covers the 'Backshift Protocol, ' pronoun shifts, and the critical 'say vs. tell' distinction. It elevates the learner's skill set by introducing 'Illocutionary Force, ' enabling the selection of precise reporting verbs that capture the speaker's true intent-whether they are promising, suggesting, or apologizing. With specialized sections on digital communication, formal journalism, and the advanced literary technique of Free Indirect Discourse, the book provides a roadmap for achieving natural fluency. It is an essential resource for advanced ESL students and educators who want to move from technical accuracy to sophisticated, real-world communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Peridore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798180513083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Stephen Peridore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49173565669631,"sku":"9798180513083","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e36667a-df5c-4489-bb9b-ef978de10ac6.jpg?v=1788955444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unlocking-indirect-discourse-stephen-peridore-9798180513083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
