This paper examines the sentences that end with “-tte”, focusing on the grammatical features and the differences from the typical quotative sentences. This paper says the typical quotative sentence grammatically has the subject of speaker, quotative clause, and quotative verb, and has “dualism of field”, and has an explicit subject. The sentences ending with “-tte” have the following features; 1) the information source is the third person and is seen in the same sentence or the context. 2) the sentence type is declarative sentence or interrogative sentence. 3) the sentence has no predicative verb, but the verb with past tense, such as “said” or “was saying”, are thought to be missed. 4) when the information source is the implicit third person, the functtion of “-tte” changes from quotation to hearsay.
