The speaker stated that a picture was worth over £100.

Unlike in English, in Pirahã speakers must state their source of information: they cannot be ambiguous.

"Oh," said Jurgis, wonderingly, and stated at the speaker in awe.

It denotes that the speaker states something important that might be a surprise for the listener.

As other speakers have already stated before me, Europe is over-dependent on energy imports.

As various speakers have stated, we are only looking at the issue of European funding for this type of research.

I therefore fail to understand why some speakers state that Turkey will become a Member of the European Union, come what may.

I would like to mention that the previous speaker stated that Russia has imperialistic intentions.

Other speakers also stated the same.

Nevertheless, as many speakers have stated, immense challenges lie ahead that no one should underestimate.
