Composition 1. Title: Function and usage of quotation marks
Quotes are punctuation marks often used in daily writing and language expression. They play various roles in the article and play a very important role. The following explains the function and usage of quotation marks from the following aspects: the basic concept of quotation marks, the classification of quotation marks, and the usage scenarios.
First of all, quotation marks can be divided into direct speech and indirect speech. Direct speech is a concrete statement in the original text or other people's words, and indirect speech is to retell other people's words in one's own words. When using direct quotation, you need to enclose the quoted sentence in double quotation marks and indicate the source, so as to clearly show other people's views or statements. For example, "It is reported that the price level will continue to rise this year." "It is reported" in this sentence is an explanation of quotation, which lets readers know that this information is obtained from a media report. Indirect speech is often used to report other people's opinions or words to strengthen the credibility of the article. Different types of references have different usages, but they are all distinguished by the use of quotation marks.
Secondly, quotation marks can also indicate emphasis or irony. When we want to emphasize a word, we can enclose it in quotation marks. For example, "He is a genius", and the special emphasis on the word "genius" is expressed in quotation marks here. Sometimes, quotation marks are also used in the context of irony or banter to convey a more subtle meaning. For example, "the so-called' experts' are ridiculous", and the quotation marks in this sentence express doubts and disdain for the so-called experts.
In addition, quotation marks can also be used to introduce new nouns or use nonstandard vocabulary. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, a large number of new terms and concepts are constantly emerging in the society, and these new terms often need to be introduced with quotation marks. For example, "a smart phone is a' smart terminal device' that integrates telephone function, computer function and Internet function." The use of quotation marks facilitates readers to understand and accept new concepts and terms. In addition, quotation marks are sometimes used to emphasize a certain emotional color, or to distinguish non-standard usage from formal usage. For example, "he is very sociable", where the use of quotation marks conveys additional information, making readers understand that "sociable" is a dramatic and exaggerated expression.
Finally, quotation marks also play a very important role in literary works. Direct speech is often used in novels, essays, poems and other literary works. By adding quotation marks to the dialogue between characters, readers can better feel the communication and interaction between characters. At the same time, in literary creation, quotation marks are also used to express the monologues or thoughts of characters. For example, "What a beautiful morning, birds are chirping happily in the branches ..." This sentence described in quotation marks clearly shows the inner feelings and feelings of the characters.
To sum up, the function and usage of quotation marks are very extensive. They can be used to quote other people's viewpoints, emphasize or satirize, introduce new terms, distinguish irregular usage and enhance the sense of reality of literary works. Learning to use quotation marks correctly can not only improve the accuracy and literary grace of writing and expression, but also create different contextual effects in different scenes. Therefore, we should have a clear understanding when learning and using quotation marks, and use them flexibly in writing and oral expression.
2. Title: The magical power of quotation marks
Using quotation marks in conversation is a very important skill, which can add vitality and interest to the conversation. Quotes are not only punctuation marks, but also powerful tools to express emotions and tone.
First of all, proper use of quotation marks can accurately convey the tone and attitude of the speaker. For example, when a person is angry or angry, we can use quotation marks to highlight this emotion: "How dare you talk to me like that!" " "In this way, readers or listeners can clearly feel the anger and strong tone of the speaker. In addition, quotation marks can also help us express complex emotions such as irony and ridicule. "You are a genius, you can't even answer simple questions. Therefore, the use of quotation marks can make the dialogue closer to real life and more interesting and moving.
Secondly, quotation marks are often used to quote other people's words or thoughts. When we need to quote others' original words, quotation marks are indispensable. For example, when we conduct news reports or academic research, we often quote the opinions of experts and scholars: "According to the research results of experts, the global temperature is rising." In this way, readers or listeners can clearly distinguish that the quotation is from the author's own point of view. Similarly, quoting characters' lines in literary works is also a common skill. "Luffy shouted:' I want one piece!' "This will enable readers to better understand the character, psychology and background of the character, and increase the readability of the work.
In addition, quotation marks are usually used to indicate specific terms, phrases or idioms. "Cultural Revolution", "hitting the wall" and so on are all words that emphasize their special meanings through quotation marks. For readers or listeners, quotation marks can help them understand and master these specific language expressions more accurately. Moreover, in the Internet age, quotation marks can also be used to represent online buzzwords, words and expressions. "Nothing, be steady, what are you afraid of?" This kind of sentence may be just a bland description sentence, without quotation marks, but it becomes humorous immediately after quotation marks.
In a word, the use of quotation marks in dialogue increases the functions of expressing emotions, quoting other people's opinions and accurately conveying the information of the article. By using quotation marks properly, we can better understand and feel the emotional changes in the dialogue and make the dialogue more dramatic. Therefore, you should be good at using quotation marks in writing or oral expression to add magical power to your own words.
3. Title: The position of quotation marks in punctuation marks
The position of quotation marks in punctuation marks is an important grammatical norm, which can accurately express the meaning and emotional color of sentences. This paper will discuss the correct use of quotation marks from different punctuation marks.
First of all, for commas and periods, quotation marks should be inside. For example, "I like to eat fruit." The quotation marks in this sentence correctly surround the content of the sentence. This arrangement enables readers to clearly understand the author's intention and put the focus of the sentence in quotation marks.
Secondly, for question marks and exclamation points, quotation marks are outside them. For example, quote a question or a sentence expressing strong feelings in quotation marks, and the quotation marks should be placed outside the whole sentence. For example, "Have you ever been to heaven?" The position of quotation marks enables readers to immediately notice the special nature of this problem and remind them that this problem may have other meaning.
In addition, quotation marks also have their special location rules when quoting. When quoting other people's words, quotation marks should be enclosed in the quoted part and placed outside punctuation marks. For example, Xiao Ming said to me, "You came yesterday." The quotation marks here are outside the whole sentence, but they enclose the quoted content. "You came yesterday" is Xiaoming's original words.
Finally, for ellipsis, quotation marks can be placed inside or outside it. When the quoted content is omitted, put quotation marks outside the ellipsis, for example, "I love … you." But if the quoted sentence itself is omitted, the quotation marks are inside the ellipsis, such as "he said' ellipsis is the answer'." This usage can make readers understand the parts quoted in quotation marks accurately.
To sum up, the position of quotation marks in punctuation marks is very important for the expression of sentences. Proper use of quotation marks can clearly convey the author's intention and help readers better understand the meaning of the article. Therefore, we must follow the correct position rules of quotation marks in writing to ensure the accuracy and logic of sentences.
4. Title: Collocation of quotation marks in punctuation marks
Quotes are a common punctuation mark and have many functions in writing. Correct use of quotation marks can enhance the expressiveness and accuracy of sentences. Besides quotation marks, there are other punctuation marks such as periods, commas and question marks. Their collocation with quotation marks also needs attention.
First of all, the combination of quotation marks and periods is particularly important when writing references. When we quote other people's opinions, remarks or words, we should use quotation marks and put a period after the quotation marks to end the whole sentence. For example, Marx said: "Philosophers only explain the world in different ways, and the problem is to change the world." This sentence clearly marked the original author's words, and added a period after the quotation marks to make the whole quotation complete and clear.
Secondly, the collocation of quotation marks and commas is also common. When there are words in quotation marks that need to be explained or emphasized, we can add commas outside the quotation marks. For example, "You are a great cook", he praised. "You cook well" in quotation marks here is someone else's evaluation, and commas correspond this evaluation to people to make the sentence more complete.
In addition, when there are other punctuation marks in quotation marks, we need to put quotation marks before other punctuation marks. For example: "Excuse me, can this question be answered?" The quotation mark in this sentence is a question, so we put a comma in front of the question mark in the quotation mark and use both correctly.
It should be noted that when we use quotation marks to indicate specific meanings or brackets, we don't need to cooperate with other punctuation marks. For example, "that road doesn't work" and "it doesn't work" are not doubts or sighs, but emphasize that it is not feasible. In this case, the quotation marks themselves have already played the role of punctuation marks, and there is no need to add other punctuation marks after them.
In short, the collocation of quotation marks is very important in writing. By choosing and using punctuation correctly, we can express our meaning accurately and make sentences more accurate and clear. When using quotation marks and other punctuation marks, we need to use them flexibly according to the specific context and needs to make our writing more exciting and expressive.
