 Finally, those who raise Objection 4 against the Demonstrative Theory would probably raise the same objection here: the Disquotational Theory fails to account for quotation without quotation marks.

(DQR) proponents would presumably be as unimpressed as Demonstrative Theorists and their replies would be much the same (see above).
