そう言った can't be used when the direct quotation follows it. こう言った can be used both for the ones preceding or following it.So far i've seen both 彼女がそう言った。「direct speech quotation] and 彼がこう言った。「direct speech quotation」 Are they interchangeable in such situations when direct speech is quoted?
A period or comma is needed. If nothing is there, it could be misinterpreted that 言った modifies the quotation (e.g. そう言った「こんにちは」は、彼に届かなかった。).Also, is it always (。) preceding direct speech, or can i use (、) or nothing at all?
