Abstract
This paper examines how the communicative act of quotation may contribute to ordinary users’ discussion of
politics through user comments following up on government- and opposition-party speeches during a pre-election and a non-election
period in Britain. It analyses the linguistic formatting of the communicative act – as direct, indirect, mixed, hypothetical and
scare quotation – and its production-format-specific distribution in the speeches of the political elite and in ordinary-user
comments following up on the elite discourse. Particular attention is given to (1) references to the constitutive parts of the
communicative act of quotation, to its felicity conditions and to social-context coordinates, (2) the discursive functions which
quotation may fulfil in the two different contexts and timeframes, and (3) their perlocutionary effects.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
