By Chelsea Hunt The Many Ways We Introduce Direct Quotations

Quotatives: the verbs used to introduce direct quotations. For example: She said, “Yeah, he’s been riding his bike.” I said, “I might.” He’s like, “Magic.” I’m like, “Use your Italian.” I was like, “No.” I go like, “[sound].” And Kaitlyn goes, “What?” She’ll be all like, “I love you, Mommy.” Background

Over time, many new quotatives have become popular, including the following: Be like, go, and be all Frederica Barbieri, “Quotative Use in American English” Looked at preexisting research Conducted a corpus analysis Compiled common patterns of use for quotatives Background

Rapid and Anonymous Survey William Labov’s 1966 study of New York City department stores Benefits: Cancels observer’s paradox Anonymity Quick results Real life and television Drawbacks: Ethical issues Limitations Methodology
