Those last six quotation marks are not just punctuation. For a direct quotation, always include a full citation parenthetical or narrative in the same sentence as the quotation, including the page number or other location information, e. Without even thinking about it, we pause or change our intonation or loudness to help express our meaning, emphasis, and tone. Unlike the SarcMark, however, this one is copyright-free and easy to type: It's just a period followed by a tilde. Make a Gift. Copyright , Stephen Spector. The types of evidence you use will depend in part on the conventions of the discipline or audience for which you are writing. The lack of conversation makes any question rhetorical, and revising the question in a statement would be the better course. Instructors, programs, editors, and publishers may establish limits on the use of direct quotations.

Trump realDonaldTrump March 4, How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. He finally has, at least around one issue: nearly seven of every ten Americans wish he would stop tweeting from his personal account, including a majority of Republicans. Because sometimes periods, commas, colons, semi-colons, dashes, hyphens, apostrophes, question marks, exclamation points, quotation marks, brackets, parentheses, braces, and ellipses won't do, here are a few other punctuation marks to work into your everyday communications. Among Bazin's proposed new punctuation marks was the love point. There is a punctuation mark that combines the question mark and exclamation point. This, like the SarcMark, is used to indicate that a sentence should be understood beyond the literal meaning. I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election! Venom Epic Collection: Symbiosis. Scott Fitzgerald. Dashes are generally not in common use but denote a tangent within a thought. By traditional estimates, more than 23 of those hours passed before people invented writing. Braces are used quite rarely and are employed to essentially make a list within a list. For quotations of fewer than 40 words, add quotation marks around the words and incorporate the quote into your own text—there is no additional formatting needed. It also establishes the rhythm of our writing, capturing the pauses and emphases of speech. Quoting the words of others carries a big responsibility. And quotations are only one type of evidence: well-balanced papers may also make use of paraphrases, data, and statistics. All of a sudden, I didn't want it anymore, which is wonderful. Our ancestors may have started speaking between 50, and 2 million years ago, but it was only 5, years ago that people started to write. Sometimes, in order to have a clear, accurate discussion of the ideas of others, you need to quote those ideas word for word. The words that precede and follow a quotation are just as important as the quotation itself. Doctorow also detested semicolons, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy has done his best to eliminate them altogether. Search Start Search.

However, you should use block quotations only when you fear that omitting any words will destroy the integrity of the passage. You can find gifts that are perfect for every age group without having to break the bank. As such, it should not be followed by a period or question mark. We can think of a few situations in which the asterism would be useful. Whatever information that follows the colon must, in some way, explain, prove, or describe what ever came before it. Do not rely on quotations to tell your story for you. In general, avoid leaving quotes as sentences unto themselves. When quoted material is presented as multiple sentences, four dots should be used for omissions between two or more original sentences; three dots should be used for omissions within a single original sentence. The Quotable Guide to Punctuation Writer Apostrophes are used to mark possession and to mark contractions. Delivering the intended meaning of testimony demands the correct usage of punctuation, which, of course, is the responsibility of the court reporter. Jacobs is quoted in Harriet A. I'm one of those people who gets up on the right side of the bed in the morning. Double-space the entire block quotation. For a direct quotation, always include a full citation parenthetical or narrative in the same sentence as the quotation, including the page number or other location information, e. Suppose you want to challenge the following statement made by John Doe, a well-known historian:. Ellipsis marks the omission of a word or words. If the omission includes the end of a sentence the glyph has four dots …. But I didn't realize how many different kinds of falls I did in that show. Although many courts ask that reporters italicize or underline case names , some court reporting translation programs have difficulty identifying italicized and underlined elements in keyword searches and indexes; so reporters should learn the software limitations, if any, and work around them with quotation marks. Turabian, Kate L. When a quotation is placed at the end of a sentence, but the quoted material is only part of a larger sentence, authorities differ on the use of ellipsis points. Colons make the statement: note what follows. The criminal, said the judge, was an idiot. Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. I asked what he meant. The standard English punctuation is as follows: period, comma, apostrophe, quotation, question, exclamation, brackets, braces, parenthesis, dash, hyphen, ellipsis, colon, semicolon. Similarly, if a quotation referenced an event with which the reader might be unfamiliar, you could identify that event in brackets. Written in a readable and absorbing style, The Oxford English Grammar is an essential reference for English-speakers around the world. At this banquet recently, they showed a little clip of all my falls. Block quotation with parenthetical citation: Researchers have studied how people talk to themselves: Inner speech is a paradoxical phenomenon. For example, papers analyzing literature may rely heavily on direct quotations of the text, while papers in the social sciences may have more paraphrasing, data, and statistics than quotations.

It was created by typographer Choz Cunningham in This scenario is probably most common in literature and linguistics courses, but you might also find yourself writing about the use of language in history and social science classes. We can think of a few situations in which the asterism would be useful. The Quotable Guide to Punctuation Reviews How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. There is a lot of good advice in Mr Spector's guide. December 11, Bazin described this mark as "the stylistic representation of those two little flags that float above the tour bus when a president comes to town. For example, using the above example, you would NOT need an ellipsis in either of these situations:. What reporters need to keep in mind when punctuating transcripts is that the rules are not altogether the same as those put forth in the Oxford Dictionary. Correct punctuation is vital for clear, accurate, and natural writing. Throw-away, high-speed-chase, merry-go-round, user-friendly Dash — Dashes are generally not in common use but denote a tangent within a thought. Was he showing disdain for the word or concept?

Start a block quotation on a new line and indent the whole block 0. When a change in capitalization must be acknowledged, you should use brackets, as explained here. Unless they are part of the original quotation, all marks other than commas or periods are placed outside the quotation marks. Parenthesis note non-essential information that could be skipped without altering the meaning of a sentence. Here are a few general tips for setting off your block quotations:.

  • Special Characters in Aletheia
    Special Characters in Aletheia Last Change: 28 May 2014 The following table comprises all special characters which are currently available through the virtual keyboard integrated in Aletheia. The virtual keyboard aids re-keying of historical documents containing characters that are mostly unsupported in other text editing tools (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Text input dialogue with virtual keyboard in Aletheia 1.2 Due to technical reasons, like font definition, Aletheia uses only precomposed characters. If required for other applications the mapping between a precomposed character and the corresponding decomposed character sequence is given in the table as well. When writing to files Aletheia encodes all characters in UTF-8 (variable-length multi-byte representation). Key: Glyph – the icon displayed in the virtual keyboard. Unicode – the actual Unicode character; can be copied and pasted into other applications. Please note that special characters might not be displayed properly if there is no corresponding font installed for the target application. Hex – the hexadecimal code point for the Unicode character Decimal – the decimal code point for the Unicode character Description – a short description of the special character Origin – where this character has been defined Base – the base character of the special character (if applicable), used for sorting Combining Character – combining character(s) to modify the base character (if applicable) Pre-composed Character Decomposed Character (used in Aletheia) (only for reference) Combining Glyph

  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke.

  • By Daniel Herron What Is Star Hopping?
    by Daniel Herron What is Star Hopping? Using bright stars and star patterns (asterisms) as guidepost to locate objects that are too dim to be seen with the naked eye or though a finder scope. Consists of successive leaps from a star that is visible either with the naked eye or with a finder- scope, to another star and so forth until the aimed target is reached. Why Star Hop? Best way to learn the sky See more objects than with Go-to scopes Find more objects quicker than with Go-To scopes No power worries More Rewarding Terms Telrad/Rigel – a zero magnification finder that projects a series of concentric red rings (4 degrees, 2 degrees, and one-half degree in diameter) on a tilted clear viewing plate at the top of the finder. Asterism– a grouping of stars that form a familiar shape or pattern not formally recognized as a constellation. (big dipper, summer triangle, etc.) Field of View - The size of the actual patch of sky being viewed by an instrument Easiest way to determine field of view is estimate it by comparing telescope view with a star atlas. Another way is to find a star near the celestial equator (stars in Orion’s belt are commonly used) line up the star on the side of your field of view and time how long it takes to traverse the diameter of the field of view. What Equipment is Needed? Knowledge of the night sky (constellations, some bright stars) Eyes – you do not need a scope or even binoculars to do a star hop Binoculars A Hand (we all have a spare) at arms length Index Finger to Pinky = 15 degrees Closed fist = 10 degrees

  • Getting 'Right' with Heaven and the Origins Of
    PART I Origins and the Linguistic Dimension CHAPTER 1 Getting Right with Heaven and the Origins of Writing in China David W. Pankenier It has long been recognized that the tiƗngƗn dìzhƯ , or heavenly stems and earthly branches, may provide a clue to the origins of the Chinese writing system. Indeed, it is probable that the ten stems and twelve branches are the most archaic remnant of a very early stage of written Chinese. 1 Even though some appear originally to have had concrete referents or to bear a resemblance to Shang graphs whose meaning is known, the one and only application of the binary gƗnzhƯ combinations is as ordinals and, uniquely in the case of the ten stems, as cultic appellations for the royal ancestors. As Edwin G. Pulleyblank remarked: The curious thing about these twenty-two signs is that neither the graphs nor the names attached to them have any separate meaning. Their meaning is simply the order in which they occur in the series to which they belong. It is true that a few of the characters are also used to write other homophonous words, but these are a small minority and such words have no apparent relation to the cyclical signs as such.2 1. Recent studies of the origins of writing in East Asia include Robert Bagley, Anyang Writing and the Origin of the Chinese Writing System, in The First Writing: Script Invention as History and Process, ed. Stephen D. Houston (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008), 190249; William G.

  • The Mythological Importance of the Constellation Msḫtjw in Mortuary Representations Until the End of the New Kingdom
    The mythological importance of the constellation Msḫtjw in mortuary representations until the end of the New Kingdom Gábor W. Nemes Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest N VARIOUS CULTURES of the world, and hence also in western culture, probably the most well-known asterism of the northern sky is the so-called Big Dipper, or Plough, which I actually forms a part of the much greater constellation of Ursa Major, also known as the Great Bear. Various people have seen into it different formations, so it is not at all surprising that there is an apparent lack of uniformity in naming it in European culture as well.1 The particular designations, as in the case of most other constellations, were based on the fact that respective cultures considered different groups of stars to be part of a given constellation. However, considering the sign the ancient Egyptian idea is in unison with modern concepts in a particular respect, namely that both emphasise the same seven stars that at clear-skied nights are easily observable even with a naked eye, even in the heavily light-polluted skies of modern cities, due to them being the brightest ones in Ursa Major. The ancient Egyptians identified the group formed by Dubhe (α UMa), Merak (β UMa), Phad (γ UMa), Megrez (δ UMa), Alioth (ε UMa), Mizar (ζ Uma), and Alkaid (η Uma) with a thigh or foreleg of a bull, or either a partial or full scale depiction of a bull, and called it Ḫpš or Msḫtjw.2 This very sign may be the only one that we can identify with great certainty among the northern constellations known by the ancient Egyptians.3 In its shape, or differently said, in its form designated by its respective stars, it plainly overlaps with one of the instruments by the same name, used during the Ritual of Opening the Mouth, an adze with a bent handle (U19A).

Cannon, B.S. Fairbanks, Alaska December 2014 © 2014 Christopher M. Cannon Abstract Stellar astronomy is a fundamental component of Alaska Athabascan cultures that facilitates time-reckoning, navigation, weather forecasting, and cosmology. Evidence from the linguistic record suggests that a group of stars corresponding to the Big Dipper is the only widely attested constellation across the Northern Athabascan languages. However, instruction from expert Athabascan consultants shows that the correlation of these names with the Big Dipper is only partial. In Alaska Gwich’in, Ahtna, and Upper Tanana languages the Big Dipper is identified as one part of a much larger circumpolar humanoid constellation that spans more than 133 degrees across the sky. The Big Dipper is identified as a tail, while the other remaining asterisms within the humanoid constellation are named using other body part terms. The concept of a whole-sky humanoid constellation provides a single unifying system for mapping the night sky, and the reliance on body-part metaphors renders the system highly mnemonic. By recognizing one part of the constellation the stargazer is immediately able to identify the remaining parts based on an existing mental map of the human body. The circumpolar position of a whole-sky constellation yields a highly functional system that facilitates both navigation and time-reckoning in the subarctic.
