Knowing When to Stop: Investigating the Nature of Punctuation.
Bruthiaux, Paul
Language and Communication, v13 n1 p27-43 Jan 1993
Traces the development of punctuation and the understanding of its role over the centuries. Throughout its existence, punctuation has played the dual role of recording prosodic contours and syntactic structure. Past research and discussion has not provided a coherent picture. A model of punctuation based on systematic observation is needed. (175 references) (LET)
