For example, I ask you now:
Which punctuation mark should be used to indicate the author's nationality or dynasty?
What changes should be made to punctuation marks when text is vertically arranged?
When labeling books, use the title. What should I do if I label the film works? What punctuation marks are used?
Can you answer these questions correctly? Presumably for many people, there will be great difficulties.
But in fact, there are special regulations on the use of punctuation marks in Chinese typesetting in China. At present, the current national standard Usage of Punctuation Symbols GB/T15834-2011. It stipulates the use of punctuation marks in Chinese typesetting.
In view of the slightly long space, based on some situations that I may often encounter in daily document processing, I write out some norms for the use of punctuation marks, which is regarded as the popularization of cold knowledge for your reference.
The following is an excerpt:
Question mark usage specification?
1. When multiple questions are used together or the tone of the questions is emphasized, the question mark can be reused. Usually, it should be used alone first and then repeatedly, with up to three question marks. Question marks should not be used repeatedly when there is no need for unusually strong emotional expression.
Example: Did you make this? How to become a general manager? How dare you cheat consumers like this?
2. Question marks and labels are used to express doubts or unknowns in sentences.
Example 1: Ma Zhiyuan (1250? -132 1), a great man, a dramatist and essayist in the Yuan Dynasty.
Example 2: Zhong Rong (? —5 18), a native of Yingchuan Changshe, was a literary critic in the Southern Liang Dynasty.
Example 3: This text incorrectly shows the author (editor? School? ) it's not serious.
Parentheses usage specification?
1. When indicating the nationality or dynasty of the author, square brackets or hexagonal brackets can be used.
Example 1: Huxley's theory of evolution and ethics
Example 2:[ Tang] Du Fu
2. Except for mathematical and logical formulas in science and technology books, all brackets (especially homographs) should be avoided as much as possible. When brackets must be used, different bracket forms should be used together.
Example: [velvet hair] Very fine hair.
Book title usage specification?
1. Mark the title, volume name, article name, publication name, newspaper name, file name, etc.
Example 1: A Dream of Red Mansions (Title)
Example 2: Historical Records of Xiang Yu (Volume Name)
Example 3: On the Fall of the Peak Tower of Arms (Title)
Example 4: Weekly attention (publication name)
Example 5: People's Daily (Registration)
Example 6: Minutes of National Rural Work Conference (file name)
2. Mark the names of films, television, music, poems, sculptures and other works expressed in words, sounds and images.
Example 1: Yu (movie name)
Example 2: Chasing Dreams (TV Drama Name)
Example 3: Don't forget me (song title)
Example 4: Qin Yuan Chun Xue (poetic title)
Example 5: The East wants to know (the name of the sculpture)
Example 6: Light and Shadow (TV Program Name)
Example 7: Social Wide-angle Lens (List Name)
Example 8: Zhuangzi research literature database (CD name)
Example 9: Plant Physiology Series Wall Chart (Picture Name)
3. Indicate the name of the software in Chinese full name or Chinese-based name.
Example: Researchers are developing antivirus software for computer guards.
4. Abbreviation indicating the name of the work.
Example: I read the article Nianqing Tanggula Mountain Journey (hereinafter referred to as Nian) and gained a lot.
5. When a book title is needed, the inner layer uses a single book title and the outer layer uses a double book title.
Example: The report of the Ministry of Education on submitting the Trial Measures for Self-taught Higher Education Examination for deliberation.
Specification for the use of separation number?
1. A separate level or category.
For example, China's administrative divisions are divided into provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions)/cities (prefecture-level cities)/counties (county-level cities, districts and autonomous prefectures)/townships (towns)/villages (neighborhood committees).
What are the positions and writing forms of punctuation marks in horizontal manuscripts?
Period, comma, pause, semicolon and colon are all placed after the corresponding text, occupying the position of a word, ranking at the lower left and not appearing at the beginning of the line.
The question mark and exclamation point are placed after the corresponding word, occupying the position of a word, arranged on the left, and do not appear at the beginning of the line.
When two question marks (or exclamation marks) overlap, they occupy a word position;
When three question marks (or exclamation marks) overlap, they occupy two words;
When question marks and exclamation marks are used together, they occupy the position of a word.
Mark quotation marks, brackets and book titles at both ends of the corresponding entry, each occupying a word position. The first half does not appear at the end of the line, and the second half does not appear at the beginning of the line.
The corresponding items are marked with dashes, occupying the position of two words, centered up and down, and cannot be separated from the end of the uplink and the head of the downlink.
The interval sign is marked between the items to be separated, occupying half a word, centered up and down, and does not appear at the beginning of the line.
Delimiters occupy half a word and do not appear at the beginning or end of a line.
When punctuation marks are arranged at the end of a line, if they are full-width characters, they should occupy the width of half-width characters (that is, the position of half a word) to make the visual effect more beautiful.
In the actual editing and publishing work, in order to meet the needs of beautiful typesetting and convenient reading, or to avoid the situation that the last Chinese character in a section breaks a line or appears at the beginning of another page (wasting space and having poor visual effect), the space occupied by punctuation marks can be appropriately compressed.
What are the positions and writing forms of punctuation marks in vertical manuscripts?
Period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, pause, semicolon and colon are all placed on the right side of the corresponding text.
Dashes, ellipsis, hyphen, separator and separator are placed under the corresponding text in the middle and arranged up and down.
The quotation marks are changed to double quotation marks and single quotation marks, and the brackets are changed to "",which are marked above and below the corresponding items.
The requirement that some punctuation in horizontal layout can't be at the beginning or end of a line also applies to vertical layout.
Of course, the complete specification is more detailed. If you want to master the correct punctuation specification, you can reply to the word punctuation specification on the PPT dialogue interface at the side door of WeChat official account, and I will share the full version of the document with you.
