ABSTRACT This thesis examines semantic, syntactic and pragmatic features of English Quotations (EQs) in Linguistic Theses (LTs) The data for analysis in this thesis are 617 samples of EQs collected from the linguistic theses and journal articles The study was conducted based on the combination of variety methods such as descriptive, analytic and inductive one The study focuses on analysing linguistic features of EQs in LTs in terms of semantic categories, syntactic structures and pragmatic functions in the light of semantic, syntactic, pragmatic theories; quotation theory and locutionary, illocutionary, cognitive act theories With regard to semantic features, lower-level linguistic (phatic act and rhetic act), illocutionary act and cognitive act were discovered in pure, direct, indirect and mixed quotation In analysing syntactic features, the research shows that pure quotation has only lowerlevel linguistic structure (rhetic structure and phatic structure) in the different plane with the structure of the entire sentence;whereas, direct, indirect, mixed quotations in LSs are simultaneous with LF-structures (entire sentence) and lower-level linguistic structures Finally, the findings in pragmatic functions in EQs in LTs shows that there are main pragmatic categories commonly employed with the highest frequency of Narrative and Grammatical purpose On the basis of the findings, some practical implications for citing references in linguistic studies and scientific studies are suggested It is expected that the findings of this paper will be useful for those who are interested in EQs and academic writing TABLE OF CONTENTS Statementof Authorship i Acknowledgements ii Abstract iii Table Of Contents iv List Of Abbreviations vii List Of Table .viii List Of

of pure quotation with Grammaticality category is the most frequently taking up 80.5%.Emphasis, Collective Knowledge, Idiolect, Non-literacy and Nonstandardness take up the lower percentage with 12.3%, 2.4%, 2.4%, 1.6% and 0.8% respectively Table 4.18.Distribution of pragmatic categories of Mixed Quotation in LTs Mixed quotation Pragmatic categories Occurrence Rate Direct quotation Narrative

100% As can be seen from the table 4.18, Narrative category is only employed in mixed of direct and indirect type with the low frequency, accounting for 36.8% The authors of LTs have a strong tendency of using Narrative +other category in mixed of pure and direct or indirect quotation (63.2%) Among them, Narrative + Grammaticality subcategory appears with the highest proportion, taking up 55.2%; Narrative + Emphasis and Narrative + Idiolect are used with the lower frequency (6.9% and 1.1% respectively) In conclusion, the data analysis resulted in the discovery of seven pragmatic categories: Narrative, Grammaticality, Emphasis, Idiolect, Collective Knowledge, Non-standardness and Non-literacy Among them, the Narrative pragmatic category is mainly used in direct quotation, indirect quotation and mixed quotation with the high frequency; Grammaticality, Emphasis and Idiolect pragmatic functions are dominantly employed in pure quotation and mixed quotation; Collective Knowledge, Non-standardness and Non-literacy are discovered with the lowest frequency, accounting of 2.4%, 0.8% and 1.6% respectively 4.4 CHAPTER SUMMARY In short, the linguistic features of EQs in LTs, which are semantic features, syntactic structures and pragmatic categories are examined and presented through the analysis of 617 samples of LTs There are 123 pure quotations, 66 direct quotations, 254 indirect quotations and 174 mixed quotations found in data In term of semantic features, pure quotation only convey meaning based on lower-linguistic level such as phatic act and rhetic act; whereas direct indirect and mixed quotation express both properties of lower-level linguistic products and locutionary, illocutionary, or cognitive products Regarding to syntactic structure, pure quotation has only lowerlevel linguistic structures and does not have a syntactic structure on the same plane as the LF-structure of the entire sentence while direct, indirect and mixed quotation direct quotation have a lower level structure (on a different plane) and a structure on the same plane as the LF structure of the entire sentence Finally, pragmatic categories named Narrative, Grammaticality, Emphasis, Idiolect, Collective Knowledge, Nonstandardness and Non-literacy play an important role in supporting, clarifying, describing, explaining, stressing main theses in Literature Review and Theoretical Background of LTs Moreover, these pragmatic categories also act as key elements to make EQs in LTs more impressive and persuasive CHAPTER CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS 5.1 CONCLUSIONS This study examined the linguistic features of EQs in 23 LTs belong to main groups: Linguistic Features in general, Discourse Analysis, Functional Grammar, Stylistic Features, Language Learning and Teaching, Comparative and Historical Linguistics and Others.617 samples including pure, direct, indirect and mixed quotations were analysed in terms of their semantic, syntactic and pragmatic features Among them, indirect quotations are dominantly employed and account for nearly 41 %, mixed quotations appear with the lower frequency, taking up over 28%, pure quotations are used with the number of nearly 20% and finally, direct quotations are chosen with the lowest frequency (over 10%) In term of semantic features, pure quotation only convey meaning based on lower-linguistic level such as phatic act, rhetic act and mixed act.Rhetic products are dominantly employed with the much higher frequency (92%); whereas, Phatic products and mixed locutionary products are found in only cases and cases and occupy the low proportion (5% and over 3%) Especially, there is no phonetic act product in data of LTs From accounting semantic products of pure quotation based on linguistic levels above, the researcher continues to make the extension to direct, indirect and mixed quotation straightforward and found that they express both properties of lower-level linguistic products and locutionary, illocutionary, or cognitive products Firstly, in lower-level linguistic product, phatic act product was found in all direct quotation, taking up 100% ; rhetic act product was found in all indirect quotation, also counting for 100%; both rhetic act product and phatic act product were explored in mixed quotation with the highest proportion (70.1%) of rhetic product and the lower one (24.1%) of phatic product Secondly, in illocutionary act product, the subcategory Representative are dominantly employed and account for 66.7% in direct quotation, 40.1% in indirect quotation and 51.7% in mixed quotation Thirdly, in cognitive act product, Knowledge product is dominantly employed with the proportion of 25.8% in pure quotation, 19.5% in mixed quotation With regard to syntactic features, the lower-level linguistic structure and LF structure were examined Firstly, in pure quotation,the use of rhetic act and phatic act as a NP in LTs occupies the highest percentage with 91.1% This is followed by the frequency of AdjP, accounting for 7.3% The use of lower-level linguistic act as a VP and AdvP appear with the lowest with 0.8% Secondly, in direct quotation, SOC structure is used in the highest occurrence, accounting for 69.7% SVOC structure, (head,phatic act) and (phatic) structure take up the lower percentage with 10.6%, 15,2% and 4.5% respectively Thirdly, in indirect quotation, —S+V (illocutionary) + C” structure are dominantly employed with the highest frequency (37.8%) and — S+V(illocutionary) + O + C” are found in 45 cases, taking up 17.7% The structure without illocutionary verb expressing only lower level linguistic structure appear with relatively high frequency, counting for 22% (rhetic act) and 20.5% (head, rhetic act) The use of —S+V(illocutionary)-passive +C” occupies the lowest proportion (2%) Finally, in mixed quotation, the pattern —S+V (illocutionary) +C” are employed to make mixed quotations in LTs taking up with the highest proportion (41.4%) —S+V (illocutionary)+O+C” structure appear with the lower frequency, accounting for 24.7% Besides, the writers have the tendency to use mixed quotation with only Lower-level linguistic structure such as:(phatic act/rhetic act) and(head, phatic act/rhetic act), taking up 17.8% and 12.1% respectively In addition, passive forms are employed to make mixed quotation with the lowest proportion: —S+V (illocutionary)-passive +C” (2.3%) and —S+V (illocutionary)passive +C” (1.7%) Lastly, with regard to pragmatic features, pragmatic categories were discovered in 617 EQs of LTs: Narrative, Grammaticality, Emphasis, Idiolect, Collective Knowledge, Non-standardness and Non-literacy Among them, Narrative pragmatic function is used with the highest frequency, taking up 100% in direct, indirect and 36.8% in mixed quotation Taking up 80.5%, Grammaticality pragmatic category is employed with appearing of proper noun, tile, specific term and appositive Especially, in mixed quotation, 36.8% quotations are used for Narrative purpose whereas 63.2% of them are employed for Narrative +other pragmatic category 5.2 IMPLICATIONS This study solely focuses on the analysis of EQs types and some linguistic features in LTs From the findings discussed above, it is hoped that the thesis will make the considerable contribution to the task of writing effective LSs as well as teaching and learning English 5.2.1 To Learners Based on differences between lower-level linguistic act, locutionary act and illocutionary act, cognitive act, the present study clarified the linguistic items and their syntactic and semantic features of EQs in LTs Therefore, firstly, the findings of this study enable language learners develop or strengthen their theoretical knowledge of locutionary, illocutionary and cognitive act Secondly, this research will be also beneficial to learners of English, especially to those who specialize not only in LTs and other kind of dissertations writing but also in academic writing in general It provides learners with the knowledge of linguistic features in term of semantic product, syntactic structure and pragmatic function in EQs Mastering these features, learners and writers can improve their linguistic background and discover the effective way to write a good quotation, to increase the credibility and validity of argument, to make writing appear more professional and thoughtful Moreover, they know how to avoid unintended plagiarism because of the lack of quotation knowledge 5.2.2 To Teachers This study is theoretically and practically significant to language teachers It firstly strengthens their awareness of the important role of quotation in academic writing Thank to quotation, teachers can inspire their students use good quotations to make Literature Review and Theoretical Background in their dissertations The findings of the research will provide teachers with general knowledge of linguistic features of EQs, especially the quotation in term of semantic features, syntactic structures and pragmatic functions As a result, teachers can design the lessons relating to the way to quote effectively something which a person, an author, a writer, a poet, a linguist wrote or thought on different ways In additional, teachers can instruct their students use the expression in quotation mark to make up a good quotation without plagiarism Finally, the data of EQs in LTs will also be a huge reference including great examples for teaching plans in English classes 5.3 LIMITATIONS Despite great efforts have been made in the process the research carried this research, the study cannot avoid certain limitations resulting from lack of materials and time budget, knowledge as well as other hidden factors Firstly, linguistic features are complicated and abstract problems and there are many different views on quotation, this thesis is limited to certain linguistic features in term of semantic features, syntactic structures and pragmatic functions The researcher would like to employ the most appreciated theory that can cover all 617 samples in data Secondly, when analysing pragmatic functions of EQs in LTs, the researcher has no official theoretical background to following The researcher only based on Predelli‘s examples of pragmatic features in quotation in general to find out some pragmatic categories that are similar to those examples After that the researcher herself named and defined these pragmatic categories There are some difficulties in analysing pragmatic categories because few items are relatively abstract Therefore, the findings in this thesis are limited With those difficulties and limitations of personal ability, sources of materials relating to the problem under investigation and outside factors, the study has got unavoidable shortcomings I would be very grateful to those who take interest in the topic and this work Any comment, advice and adjustment are valuable to make this thesis more fulfilled, diversified and deeper 5.4 SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH The following topics should be taken into consideration for further researcher: - A Contrastive
