o caso do discurso citado
Keywords:
punctuation, inline quotation, newspapers, Brazil, PortugalAbstract
This paper aims at identifying the punctuation marks used in Brazilian and Portuguese press to signalize “inline quotations” reproduced by journalists. This goal will be fulfilled through the analysis of 284 journalistic texts of different kinds – news, reports and interviews – published in eight newspapers, four of which Brazilian and four of which Portuguese, gathered during January and February 2012. The analysis will demonstrate the existence of different punctuation solutions available to journalists, enabling them to convey their objectivity and authenticity to the reader when quoting someone else’s words.
