Abstract
AbstractThis chapter examines one small aspect of mixed quotation, namely, whether it is a genuinely semantic phenomenon. It argues that the Redundancy View (RV) of mixed quotation and its corollary CRV are both false. According to RV the quotation marks in mixed quotations are semantically superfluous; and to CRV the semantic content of a mixed report is identical to the semantic content of the corresponding direct report (i.e., one in which its complement clause has no quotation marks).
