The aims of the study were to: (1) uncover the prevalence of titles featuring quoted speech between 1980 and 2019, (2) describe how directly reported speech is utilised structurally in article titles, and (3) investigate the effects of various patterns of use of quotations on articles\u2019 age-weighted citation rates. 640 linguistics articles with speech act titles were uncovered, occurring with an incidence of 1.8% in the dataset (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200936,438), although their prevalence has risen significantly since 2004. Structural analysis revealed 90.9% of quotations were contained in the first segment of a compound title, serving to create an information gap (often for the purposes of provoking interest or intrigue), which is resolved in the second segment; the research article\u2019s topic. Regression analysis showed that speech act titles were significant negative determinants of articles\u2019 age-weighted citations, particularly the prevalent pattern of compound structures featuring a quotation phrased as a declarative. The length of the quotation was found to exert no significant effect, although quotations that were not marked by single or double quotation marks\u00a0were found to have an especially suppressed scholarly impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-020-03827-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,19]],"date-time":"2021-02-19T07:25:38Z","timestamp":1613719538000},"page":"3421-3442","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Quoted speech in linguistics research article titles: patterns of use and effects on citations"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"126","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0768-8461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William S.","family":"Pearson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"3827_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1177\/2158244019829575","volume":"9","author":"DW Aksnes","year":"2019","unstructured":"Aksnes, D.
