This book contains 24 chapters in over 680 pages of text and explains all linguistic punctuation marks, including an INTERROBANG, a SLASH, PARENTHESES and QUOTATION MARKS.
In addition to punctuation marks, this book contains chapters explaining the usage of ITALICS, ABBREVIATIONS, symbols of the INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS, NUMBERS, DATES, ELLIPSIS, LISTS OF ITEMS, TITLES and CAPITAL LETTERS. The last chapter is dedicated to GENDER NEUTRALITY.
Each punctuation mark is explained in an individual chapter, and both the meaning and the usage of the punctuation mark are explained. Explained meanings and usage of the punctuation marks are followed by examples that help understand the explanation. Chapters are divided into subchapters, main sections and subsections that narrow down and focus on different kind of usage of the punctuation marks. Frequent usage of subsections allow quick search, and this book can therefore also serve as a reference source.
This book is written especially as educational material for detailed, in-depth study of English punctuation. The punctuation is explained in great detail, from basic to detailed and obscure meanings. Therefore, this book can be helpful to both beginners and advanced learners.
I tried to write this book as a complex and comprehensive volume of the English punctuation that could serve both as a textbook and as a reference manual.
