Quotation marks

Please do not overuse quotation marks. If you write the following:

``Each corpus is described by a set of `attributes' which ...''

then you are obscuring the fact that `attributes' is in fact a term -- or if it is not, you should be using a different form which is a term, or you should remove the single quotation marks. As previously seen, you should use italics to denote a term (which should in turn ideally be defined in your glossary).

Words under discussion as linguistic examples (especially words from a foreign language) should be surrounded by single quotation marks, if they are single or compound wordforms. Phrases under discussion should be surrounded by double quotation marks. For example:

...however, `comment' in ``comment ça va?'' is to be tagged as ...
