Abstrakt: 

The paper is concerned with the concepts of faithfulness and/or verbatim reproduction in relation to various forms of representation, especially direct forms. These concepts have been traditionally applied with the aim to define and differentiate between direct and indirect forms. Furthermore, different approaches seem to employ the two notions to refer to different aspects of the presumed original. Subsequently, a number of opposing views have sprung up, criticising the concepts as untenable for various reasons. The paper tries to at least partially present an overview comparing both views. It will be shown that faithfulness is more a pragmatic and functional concept and cannot be applied indiscriminately to all reporting contexts. As a result, it should not be understood as a distinctive criterion in delimiting various forms of presentation. Instead, formal criteria seem to be a more reliable and applicable option.
