Annotation

This paper explores how reported speech markers are employed as procedural resources in a parapsychology experiment to examine types of anomalous communication, such as e.g. extrasensory perception. It focuses especially on how particular activities in a crucial part of the experiment are mediated by 'you said' speech markers.
