Abstract:

The chapters in this volume address a variety of issues surrounding quotation,
such as whether it is a pragmatic or semantic phenomenon, what varieties of
quotation exist, and what speech acts are involved in quoting. Quotation poses
problems for many prevailing theories of language. One fundamental principle
is that for a language to be learnable, speakers must be able to derive the
truth-conditions of sentences from the meanings of their parts. Another
popular view is that indexical expressions like "I" display a certain fixity
-- that they always refer to the speaker using them. Both of these tenets
appear to be violated by quotation. 

This volume is suitable for scholars in philosophy of language, semantics, and
pragmatics, and for graduate students in philosophy and linguistics. The book
will also be useful for researchers in other fields that study quotation,
including psychology and computer science.
