Makhmudova S. M.

In linguistics, two forms of transmitting someone else’s speech are traditionally distinguished - direct speech and indirect speech. The forms and methods of transmitting someone else's speech in the Rutul language, which relates to the Lezgi languages of the Nakh-Dagestan subgroup of the Iberian-Caucasian languages, did not serve as a subject of special consideration in the scientific literature. This work is the first attempt to describe the methods of transmitting someone else's speech in the Rutul language.
