Quotatives considers the phenomenon “quotation” from a wealth of perspectives. It consolidates findings from different strands of research, combining formal and functional approaches for the definition of reported discourse and situating the phenomenon in a broader typological and sociolinguistic perspective.
- Provides an interface between sociolinguistic research and other linguistic disciplines, in particular discourse analysis, typology, construction grammar but also more formal approaches
- Incorporates innovative methodology that draws on discourse analytic, typological and sociolinguistic approaches
- Investigates the system both in its diachronic development as well as via cross-variety comparisons
- Presents careful definition of the envelope of variation and considers alternative definitions of the phenomenon “quotation”
- Empirical findings are reported from distribution and perception data, which allows comparing and contrasting perception and reality
Reviews
“Overall, the wide scope of this book means that it will be of interest not only to scholars of language variation and change and those working on the sociolinguistics of globalisation but also to researchers working on the study of reported speech within many other sub-disciplines of linguistics.” (Journal of Sociolinguistics, 20 March 2015)
“These distinctive perspectives provide the readership with fresh food for thought on the exciting and important topic of quoting and quotatives, and with a more nuanced knowledge base as regards the linguistic properties, social uses and pragmatic functions. In brief, this volume is a treasure trove and highly recommended for those who are keen on communication studies, discourse analysis and sociology.” (Discourse Studies, 1 January 2015)
