Abstract
In this paper I shall expose and analyze an overlooked function of quotation marks, which enables us to engage in the equally overlooked linguistic practice of using others' words. I shall focus on a case where a reporter has to use the speaker's words in order to express a thought that would otherwise be inexpressible by the reporter. The case borrowed from Kripke's "A Puzzle About Belief points at a weakness in the neo-Davidsonian theory of quotation that Cappelen and Lepore have recently developed.
