    Subject: Quotation marks


    I am interested in the history of punctuation, especially the origin and development of quotation marks, but the literature I have looked at so far is not very helpful. I would be grateful for any references on this subject.

    Message 3: Arabski 1979 paper

    Dear all,

    I'm a doctoral student at the English Department, G�teborg University, Sweden who is hunting for a report on error analysis by J Arabski. My doctoral thesis is about error analysis based on composition material. I have tried the university library here but they couldn't find anything with a title matching my reference. Instead they found this e-mail address and information that Dr Arabski could possibly be located through this address. My question is if it is possible to find out anything more to add to my reference in order for my library to find and order the report (or paper) since I need it for my research in error analysis. The reference I have now is

    Arabski, J (1979) "Errors as indicators of the development of interlanguage" Katowice: Uniwersytet Slasky

    In the library they tell me it is not possible to locate this and they suggested it is not the real title or that it is a special series printed only for the university itself. I have tried the e-mail the librarians gave me but so far nothing's come up. If anyone out there might have additional information to this reference I'd be very grateful. I already have Dr Arabski's paper from 1968 but generally his work form 1979 is quoted only the reference in all my lists do not seem to help me find it. Please send any info directly to me at this e-mail address:
