Nounquotations
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A quotation is the repetition of one expression as part of another one, particularly when the quoted expression is well-known or explicitly attributed (as by citation) to its original source, and it is indicated by (punctuated with) quotation marks. A quotation can also refer to the repeated use of units of any other form of expression, especially parts of artistic works: elements of a painting, scenes from a movie or sections from a musical composition. The rest of this article addresses only written or oral quotations. Reasons for using quotationsQuotations are used for a variety of reasons: to illuminate the meaning or to support the arguments of the work in which it is being quoted, or to provide direct information about the work being quoted (whether in order to discuss it, positively or negatively, to pay homage to the original work or author, to make the user of the quotation seem well-read). Quotations are also commonly printed as a means of inspiration and to invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the proper way to use punctuation with quotation marks? Q. Like if I am quoting or using quotes for a title, do I put the punctuation of the full sentence in or outside the quotation marks? Like if I were to write... There are many characters in so'n so's work, "The Many Characters" (,) some appealing and some distainful. Where does the comma go? Because it's not part of the title, so can it go inside? Thanks! Asked by Amber W - Mon Nov 5 19:42:30 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. In American English, the comma goes before the quote. "The Many Characters," In British (also in Canada), the comma goes after the quote. "The Many Characters", Answered by cidyah - Mon Nov 5 20:08:38 2007 when you paraphrase something do you put quotation marks around it? Q. I know that when you paraphrase something you must have the citation after the paraphrase, but does it need quotation marks? I know that direct quotes need both, so what do you do for paraphrases? Asked by FLOlizzzz - Sun Aug 2 18:29:00 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. When you paraphrase something you aren't exactly quoting the exact words, so quotation marks aren't needed. You just need to cite it somewhere. Answered by Piratica - Mon Aug 3 07:20:22 2009 How should I cite a quotation from a primary source that I must translate first?
Q. I am using the Oxford style of referencing and I need to find out how to reference a quotation that I first must translate. Should I also include both the original language version and then the translation? If it helps, I am looking to translate a bit of legislation. Thanks Asked by Constanza - Sat Aug 15 10:31:29 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you want the absolute right answer, there are two ways to go. First, check with the instructor. Show him/her that the style manual doesn't exactly explain what to do, and ask for advice. Instructors usually love that, and you know that whatever you do will be accepted. The second choice is to check with a librarian. They deal with this kind of thing all the time and can show you a reference manual which tells you what to do. If the instructor is not satisfied, you will always be able to say how you decided and why.
