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.
