Punctuation is an integral element in writing and has been so for
centuries. The present volume brings together approaches in
linguistics, stylistics and other fields to highlight the rich
repertoire of issues involved in the study of punctuation. The
contributions to the book discuss the grammatical, pragmatic,
rhetorical and stylistic functions of punctuation, such as encoding
emotion, metalinguistic marking, foregrounding and paralinguistic
indication. They also highlight the sensibility of punctuation to
genre and the speech-writing continuum, as well as the important
role punctuation plays for reader interpretation. They further
demonstrate how punctuation conventions change in time. The data is
drawn from English, with one investigation devoted to German.
