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. The use/mention-based analysis in this book can shed light
on the semantic theorizing of other metalinguistic phenomena, while
the semantics/pragmatics perspective will provide methodological
implications for other relevant studies. The new conception of
quotation and thought-provoking analysis on use/mention,
truth-conditional pragmatics, and the semantics/pragmatics boundary
in this book will appeal to scholars and students in philosophy of
language and linguistics. It will also serve as a clear guide to
the current state of quotation studies and how to formulate a
semantic theory of quotation.
