What is punctuation?

• “The basting that holds the fabric of language in shape.”

• “The traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take the detour, and stop.”

• “A courtesy designed to help readers to understand a story without stumbling.”

Without punctuation, meaningbecomes subject tomisinterpretation.

Dear Jack,

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy – will you let me be yours?

So what happens when punctuation isn’t used (properly)?

• If it is the “stitching of language,” language comes apart, and all of the buttons fall off.

• If it provides “traffic signals,” words bang into each other and everyone ends up lost.

• If it’s a “courtesy,” then the sentence no longer holds the door open for you to walk in, but drops it in your face as you approach.

Page 29: Performing on the  TCAP

Without punctuation, there is no reliable way of communicating meaning!

Page 30: Performing on the  TCAP

• Punctuation holds words together, keeps others apart.

• Punctuation directs one how to read, in the way musical notation directs a musician how to play.

Descriptive vs. PrescriptiveGrammar

Remember: Punctuation is governed 2/3 by ruleand 1/3 by personal taste.
