Examples of quotations in the body of the text, based on the guide for students of Mackenzie University as well as the ABNT regulations

1 QUOTATION It is the mention, in the text, of a information extracted from other source. The author uses an original text to extract the quotation, being reproduced literally (direct, literal or textual quotation), interpreted, summarized, or translated (indirect or free quotation), or being an information extracted from an intermediate source (quotation of another quotation). 1.1 Direct, literal or textual quotations. These are literal transcriptions extracted from the consulted text, respecting all formal characteristics related to the original writing. Part of the transcribed text may be omitted through the usage of this punctuation: […], but at the end of the extract, one must indicate where the quotation has been extracted from. The quotation in the text is transcribed between double quotation marks, and when it is a small part, of until three lines, it must be in the body of the paragraph. Example: There are the place where one was born, the place where one came from, the place where one works, lives etc. “The place in which it is completed, by speech, the allusive trade of some passwords, with the connivance and the accomplice intimacy of the speakers” (AUGÉ, 1994, p. 73). To sum up, a place may be symbolized. When the name of the quoted author(s) or the title(s) of the referenced work is (are) included in the sentence, only the date and the page(s) are included between parenthesis. Example: To Romberg (1992, p. 51), the word ‘research’ refers to processes — things that make themselves and not objects that can be touched and seen. Besides, he claims: “Doing research can not be seen as a mechanic performance or a set of activities that the individuals follow on a prescribed or predetermined way.” In the first example of the item 1.1, notice that, when the author’s last name is between parenthesis, it must be written in capital letters - (AUGÉ, 1994, p. 73). In the second example of the same item 1.1, notice that, when the author’s last name is outside the parenthesis, it must be written normally – Romberg (1992, p. 51). A longer quotation — with more than three lines — is presented in an isolated paragraph, taking the margin 4 cm to the left, with a smaller letter (font 10), single spacing, without quotation marks, using, as its limit, the right margin of the work. Example: According to Onuchic (1999, p. 187): No intervention in the learning process can make more difference than a well graduated, intelligent and able teacher. Investing in the teaching quality is what matters. The teacher preparation has a direct effect on the students […]. 1.1.2 Indirect or free quotations These are reproduction of somebody else’s ideas without any literal transcription of the used words. Although they are free, they must be faithful to the meaning of the original text. They don’t need to be written between quotations. Example: According to Bartoletti (1990), there is no correlation between the results of the tests of toxity with Daphnia similis and the results of the physical-chemical normally used on the characterization of factory influence. To quote a work with two or three authors, each one must be indicated, separated by semi-colon, followed by the publication date. Example: Verifying the nature of some chemical products, even in low levels of concentration in the water, might be swallowed by water organisms that are eaten by predators, bio-accumulating on their body tissues, representing potential risk to men, as well as to birds and other animals which eat fish. (MACKENTHUN; BREGMAN, 1991). 1.1.3 Quotating Quotations When the author doesn’t use the original text, but a quotation taken from a consulted work, the quotation might be reproduced literally, or be interpreted, summarized or translated. This kind of quotation must be avoided, because the actual book hasn’t been consulted and there is the risk of the quotation be interpreted wrongly. In this case, the Latin expression apud is used, followed by the indication of the source effectively consulted, and the dates of the original document must be mentioned in note foot. |
