“…Two reviews of Nunberg's book (Humphreys, 1993;Sampson, 1992) acknowledge his work rather positively. Sampson observes several counter-examples to Nunberg's rules though, drawing attention to the fact that they are not adequately based on empirical data.…”

Some recent studies in computational linguistics have aimed to take advantage of various cues presented by punctuation marks. This short survey is intended to summarise these research efforts and additionally, to outline a current perspective for the usage and functions of punctuation marks. We conclude by presenting an information-based framework for punctuation, influenced by treatments of several related phenomena in computational linguistics.

A generalization of the main trends in the development of the Russian and English punctuation theory in the first quarter of the 21st century is presented, namely, relatively stable trends in the analysis of punctuation within the framework of the communicative-pragmatic approach and punctuation activity in its functional diversity. The relevance of the study lies in the following: there is still no idea of what has been done in the theory of punctuation in the first quarter of the 21st century and what are the main trends in its development. The novelty of the study is in the disclosure of how the theory of punctuation is covered through the prism of a communicative-pragmatic approach. An analysis of the development of punctuation theory in the first quarter of the 21st century is based on Russian and English publications from 2000 to 2021. It is shown how in the theory of punctuation of the first quarter of the 21st century, on the basis of a communicative-pragmatic approach, the principles and functions of punctuation, the relationship between the punctuation mark and the punctuation position, the grounds for the priority of punctuation marks, the verbalization of punctuation marks, punctuation variance, the semantic potential of punctuation, textual punctuation are considered. In addition, it is demonstrated how the functional diversity of punctuation activity, including the use of punctuation marks in computer-mediated communication is covered.

Voyage d’une théorie de la ponctuation : l’influence de Dolet sur Hart à travers Meigret

John Hart est le premier grammairien qui a écrit sur la ponctuation anglaise en langue vernaculaire en deux œuvres : The Opening of the Unreasonable Writing of our Inglish Toung (1551) et An Orthographie (1569). Réformateur de l’orthographe anglaise et phonéticien, il est admis qu’il en a pris inspiration de Louis Meigret. Néanmoins, l’analyse de sa théorie sur la ponctuation souligne l’influence d’un autre humaniste français : Étienne Dolet. Cet article traitera de démontrer que les idées de ce dernier ont surpassé les frontières géographiques et ont exercé une influence sur la première théorie sur la ponctuation en anglais.
