The Linguistics of Punctuation

Marks of punctuation play very important role in giving intended meaning to the language. Use of wrong mark of punctuation or even wrong placement of mark of punctuation can change the meaning of the sentence completely and sometimes even convert the sentence to complete nonsense. This book will serve an indispensable guide for anyone who needs to get to grips to detail the relationship between punctuation and linguistic structure (syntax, prosody, semantics, and pragmatics).
