As in the example above, if the quotation is unnecessarily long for your purposes, you may use ellipsis (indicated by [...] to show that you have omitted something). You need not indicate ellipsis at the beginning or end of the quotation. The ellipsis marker should not be divided at the end of a line. Remember to use square brackets [… ] with ellipsis, not parentheses (… ). Punctuation in the original either preceding or following the ellipsis is normally retained. If the original includes such punctuation, you should mention it in your reference (see Section 5.2.1). 5.2.1 Information to be included Quotations within the text should be supplied with the following information: author (not editor) year of publication: page number. Other relevant information should also be clearly marked, as in the following examples. Include the original publication date of unedited reprints, such as literary editions. In the following, the original publication is 1993; the edition used is from 1995: “I sat stupid for some time, and embarrassed you by my awkwardness” (Phillips [1993] 1995: 118). Include any emphases you add to make a particular point in the quotation clear: “I sat stupid for some time, and embarrassed you by my awkwardness” (Phillips [1993] 1995: 118; emphasis added). Mention that it is your own translation if no translation is available for a work written in a language other than English: “However, in no way should interpreting be based solely upon the concept of horizontal processing” (Tommola 2006: 22; my translation). Explain if the punctuation or capitalisation may cause confusion: Why do I still keep waiting and dreaming. Hoping . . . maybe . . . someday . . . (Sender 1986: 2; punctuation as in the original). 5.2.2 Punctuation and layout of quotations Quotations within the text should be given in double quotation marks with the source reference supplied: 5
Hale (2008: 9) explains that we “need a theory of ethnicity grounded solidly in psychological research on human behavior”, and that relational theory is of use in that regard. Note that, unlike Finnish, the final full stop in English is always placed after the reference (except in block quotations), regardless of the scope of the reference: Accordingly, he states: “[cohesion] may be crudely defined as the way certain words or grammatical features of a sentence can connect to its predecessors (and successors) in a text” (Hoey 1991: 3). Quotations longer than three lines are known as „block quotations‟ and should be arranged in the same way as examples: set off from the main text by blank lines before and after, single-spaced, and indented, the font size should be smaller (usually 10 if you are using 12 in the main text). Quotation marks are not used with block quotations, but the source reference is supplied. The example below is formatted correctly: Goodman has expressed this very well: When the world is lost and correspondence along with it, the first thought is usually coherence. But the answer cannot lie in coherence alone; for a false or otherwise wrong version can hold together as well as a right one. Nor do we have any self-evident truths, absolute axioms, unlimited warranties, to serve as touchstones in distinguishing right from among coherent versions; other considerations must enter into that choice. (Goodman 1984: 37) This line of thinking can be found later in other writers, too... 5.2.2.1 Differences between American and British English The British style of positioning punctuation in relation to the closing quotation mark consistently follows the following rule: if the punctuation mark belongs to the quoted material, it is placed within the closing quotation mark; if it belongs to the including sentence, it is placed after the quotation mark. The American style follows this rule for exclamation marks and question marks, but not for commas and full stops. Both are placed outside the quotation marks only in rare instances where confusion is likely. 6
