Abstract
In English there is a group of complement verbs that behaves differently from the rest regarding its semantics and syntax. The aim of this paper is to de-termine the nature of this behaviour. Our hypothesis is that the specificity of these verbs is related to their reference to discourse, thus they are called discursives. To empirically demonstrate it, we have analysed a corpus-based study of complement verbs that can co-occur with direct speech constructions. First of all, complement verbs have been chosen from the most important taxonomies in literature to query them followed by a direct quote in the British National Corpus. Results have confirmed our hypothesis because only discursive verbs have samples with direct speech in the corpus
