logophoric construction
the construction in a logophoric system for complement clause constructions that is used when a participant in the complement event is coreferential with the speaker, addressee, or experiencer of an utterance, propositional attitude, knowledge, or commentative event. Example: Donno Sɔ Oumar Anta inyemɛñ waa be gi Oumari said that Anta had seen himi is an instance of the logophoric construction -- the reference to Oumar in the complement clause uses a special pronoun form inyemɛñ. (Section 18.4.2)
