Punctuation in Context - Past and Present Perspectives

The book showcases grammatical, pragmatic, and stylistic functions of punctuation, and shows how punctuation can encode emotion, metalinguistic marking, foregrounding and paralinguistic indications. It also highlights the sensibility of punctuation to genre and the speech-writing continuum, and shows how punctuation conventions change in time.
