| quotation marks or inverted commas || There are two types of quotation marks: single -?- and double ???. Both are correct, but British English tends to favour single quotation marks, American English double. || Quotation marks enclose direct speech: -Do come in,- he said. She asked him timidly, -Will you be coming, too?- -Why not?- said Florence. -Help!- he shouted. He said to her firmly: -You must help him.- Note, in the first two examples above, that the comma separating quoted material from the rest of the sentence goes inside the quotation marks when the quoted material comes first, and outside when what is quoted comes second. Note also, in the remaining examples, that all other punctuation goes inside the marks if it belongs to the quoted material, and outside if it belongs to the rest of the sentence. Note that, where the end of a passage of quoted material coincides with the end of the whole sentence, usually only the punctuation inside the quotation is given: I think he said, -I'll be there at five o'clock.- Why did you say -Who's there?- || Quotation marks enclose a short quotation: Shakespeare once said that -all the world's a stage-. Longer quotations are normally separated off more markedly from the rest of the text, for example by being given their own indented paragraph. || Quotation marks enclose a word or phrase that the writer wishes to highlight: They spoke a very archaic kind of English, full of -thee's and -thou's. The table was what we in Scotland call -shoogly-. What does -an accessary after the fact- mean? Note that both single and double quotation marks are needed when a quoted passage itself contains quoted material: -Next week we shall examine the ?stream of consciousness? technique in greater detail,- announced the tutor. |
