Abstract
The essay contends that quotation marks have a pragmatic function as well as an orthographic one, since they contribute to a better understanding of utterances. The correct interpretation of the utterance written in quotation marks could be important for the proper interpretation of a literary work. In this essay this is exemplified on the novel Ponornica by Skender Kulenović. It points to the need for comprehensive research of connections between punctuation and literary pragmatics
