“…While not all quotes are accurate, studies on reported speech often overlook categorizing them based on their accuracy. Instead, they tend to focus on formal distinctions, such as direct quotation (verbatim reproduction of previous discourse) and indirect quotation (paraphrased discourse from the quoter's perspective) (Fetzer and Weiss 2020). By contrast, Kirner-Ludwig (2020) places different kinds of quoting along a continuum between referring (without intent to mislead) and pseudo-referring (intending to deceive the recipient).…”

This paper focuses on the deliberate fabrication of quotations and their attribution to rival politicians by Spanish far-right activists, studying the ways in which such practices are used to undermine the credibility and legitimacy of political adversaries. The study’s dataset was obtained from a reliable Spanish fact-checking site (http://aldescubierto.org) specializing in disinformation spread in Spain by the far right. The dataset was subjected to an in-depth qualitative analysis of the taxonomy of delegitimization strategies in discourse. The analysis reveals a deliberate effort to depict left-wing politicians as unfit to govern the country. Specifically, it shows that fake quotes can help to present politicians as immoral and their policies as irrational. In short, fake quotes are used to erode trust in governing institutions and delegitimize politicians and policy initiatives.

This paper analyses and evaluates the use of arguments in which quotations are employed to convince the addressees of the acceptability of a proposed action. Based on the European Commission’s press releases, a communicative practice in which quotations are typically employed, the study demonstrates that quotations function as weak authority arguments that are not likely to be accepted by the addressees if they are not further supported by other argument types.
