Abstract: | The first punctuation mark used was the full stop, which was not only functioning to mark the end of an utterance, but also defined its components (propositions within a sentence, groups and even single words, words within a sentence). This paper presents the rules for the full stop, according to the Directory of 1995 and some of the exceptions of all language registers. Punctuation can mark infringement of rules, creating emphasis effects. |
Key words: | punctuation, full stop, rule, exception |
