What is the grammatical form and function of "that" in "that something or someone.."?

Jigneshbharati When saying that [something or someone is in a particular place] , you can use the dummy subject there. 'that' is a subordinator introducing the bracketed declarative content clause. The underlined part functions as complement of the gerund-participle 'saying'.
