Quotatives presents an overview of the vast and rapid changes that have taken place in quotative strategies, with a particular focus on the diffusion of innovative variants and the systemic developments which result from the arrival of newcomer forms. Considering the phenomenon "quotation" from a wealth of perspectives, it consolidates findings from different strands of research. While the primary focus of the empirical research is on English, the book also investigates cross-linguistic similarities and differences within this linguistic domain.
