Hello there,

Can someone show me the difference between an inline text citation and an inline text quotations?

Thanks Kelly Perez

.
The quotation is the actual excerpt: 'To be or not to be, that is the question'. The citation is the reference: 'Shakespeare, Hamlet, III, i, 56).

Hi

(An off-topic question)

I heard the expression 'get/got a citation', in a specific context (and, as I understood, it was used rather ironically. Albiet its dictionary meaning looks quite 'honourable' Smile)

Do you use it in everyday life?

Citation-- 5. An official summons, especially one calling for appearance in court.

It is sometimes used synonymously with traffic ticket.

Thanks, Mister Micawber. Perhaps, your suggestion is right.

I’m still unable to determine clearly whether an English speaker refers to the meaning (5th) you mentioned or to the previous one:
Quote:
4. Enumeration or mention, as of facts, especially:
a. An official commendation for meritorious action, especially in military service: a citation for bravery.
b. A formal statement of the accomplishments of one being honored with an academic degree.

when he says something like ‘you might get a citation!

In some contexts both equally can be used to play a joke. : )

Hi Tamara

It's difficult to say which definition was intended without more context. But I can imagine definition 4 being used as an exaggeration (to be witty).
