Abstract

The paper classifies the types of reported speech in electronic versions of British and American written media. Then, the original articles are contrasted with articles in Serbian that used the English article as a source. The English corpus consists of 28 articles published in the electronic versions of the most famous British and American newspapers - Daily Mail, The Economist, The New York Times and The Washington Post. The corpus in Serbian contains the reports made from those articles in the Serbian electronic media: on the websites of media companies RTS, B92, SEEbiz and the daily newspapers Kurir, Večernje novosti and Telegraf. The paper aims to classify the types of reported speech in the British and American articles and establish changes that occur when articles are trasferred to Serbian.
