The utterance of any expression x ostends or makes manifest the customary referent of x,
x itself, and related matter. If x appears in quotation marks then the presumed
intention behind the utterance is to pick out something other than the customary referent (either instead of it or in addition
to it). The consequences of these ideas, taken from my 1998 work, are here drawn out in application to a variety of
quotations: metalinguistic citation, reported speech, scare-quoting, echo-quoting, loan words, and titles.
