’Speaking’ quotation marks : toward a multimodal analysis of quoting verbatim in English

Description

In-depth video analyses of 70 verbatim quotations found that US speakers in diverse public settings do neither translate the quotation marks of their written sources into their assumed vocal equivalents (pauses, pitch, intensity); nor do they call on kinesic cues (gestures, gaze), leaving the other voice suppressed unless introduced by a quotative.
