Abstract
The purpose of the study is to elucidate the roles and characteristics of quotation marks based on the pragmatic approach. Traditionally, the quotation in Korean is subdivided as direct and indirect quotation. However, Those categories cannot reflect the whole reality of various linguistic phenomena related to quotation marks. In fact, linguistic expressions like syllables, morphemes, words in addition to utterance can appear between quotation marks and nonlinguistic expressions like sounds and symbols also do. Accordingly, anything can appear between quotation marks. Moreover, I suggest types of quotation depending on syntactic and pragmatic criteria. Specifically, I show five kinds of them such as pure quotation, direct quotation, name quotation, mixed quotation, attitude quotation. I demonstrate that the pragmatic approach is more convincing than semantic one to explain the uses of quotation marks in Korean.
