It’s important to reiterate our above note that here as elsewhere in the theory of quotation what comprises the phenomenon is up for debate; different theorists emphasise or play down different bits of data. What follows, accordingly, doesn’t represent a consensus position on the problem, simply because there is none (indeed, somewhat unfortunately, there isn’t even consensus about the terminology, some calling it ‘hybrid’ or ‘impure’, and some subsuming mixed quotation under ‘scare quoting’; De Brabanter 2010 is helpful here, as well as being a useful survey of the field from a linguist’s point of view). We will simply present some of the more interesting and central data points and problems for a theory of mixed quotation (for the theories themselves, we refer the reader to Maier’s (2017) overview article which presents some of the main formal semantic theories out there. For recent theories by philosophers on mixed quotation, see Gomez-Torrente 2005, Kirk and Ludwig 2017, McCullagh 2007, 2017. The main linguists to consult are cited in this section.)
