Abstract:

In the past decades, quotation theories have developed roughly along three
lines—quotation types, meaning effects, and theoretical orientations toward
the semantics/pragmatics distinction. Currently, whether the quoted expression
is truth-conditionally relevant to the quotational sentence, and if there is a
truth-conditional impact, whether it is generated via semantic or pragmatic
processes, have become the central concerns of quotation studies.

In this book, quotation is clearly defined for the first time as a constituent
embedded within yet distinctive from the quotational sentence. Also, as the
first monograph to address the semantics/pragmatics boundary dispute over
quotation, it argues that the semantic content of quotation amounts to its
contribution to the intuitive truth-conditional content of the quotational
utterance via two modes of presentation, which are incarnated in the
functioning of quotation marks and manifested as use and mention.
