Citazioni

Although our conventional punctuation marks permit us to note some intonational contrasts in writing (‘Home’. Versus ‘Home?’), they do not provide for this either consistently or fully. The same mark may be used in spite of intonational differences, and, conversely, different marks may have to be used even though the intonation is the same [...].
