In this paper, I investigate the influence that the prominence status of a protagonist has on its availability as an anchor for Free Indirect Discourse in narrative texts. I will show that not all protagonists which are prominent enough to be taken up by personal pronouns are available as anchors for Free Indirect Discourse, even if interpreting a sentence or stretch of discourse as expressing the utterances, thoughts or feelings of the respective protagonist is the most plausible option in terms of content. Rather, only protagonists that function as topics with respect to larger text segments or are sentient with respect to the eventuality introduced by the verb of the immediately preceding sentence are licit perspective takers.
