Résumé : This paper addresses a serious challenge for theories of quotation: the existence of ‘non-constituent hybrid quotations’. A large part of the paper is devoted to an appraisal of proposals made by Emar Maier, the only semanticist to have consistently sought to account for the whole empirical range of quotational phenomena. In the end, I conclude that Maier’s efforts are unlikely to be ultimately successful. I argue instead that a particular family of theories, ‘Depiction’ theories, are better equipped to deal with the issue under scrutiny, as with other thorny questions in the theory of quotation.
