現今的研究當中，一般而言從文章結構或文法形式的角度，來考察、研究日本語學的引述居多。本論文則以具體類型的文本－報紙社論為事例研究之範例，從中選擇決定類型關鍵的「報導特性」進行分析。分析結果顯示：報紙社論的引述表達上，出現文法論上一直以來被注目的直接（有標的）引述，同時亦出現由於類型一大特徵－報導特質所致之與文法論上引述不同的非直接（無標的）引述。兩者其實是報紙媒體上的一重要表達方式。本論文雖是樣本分析的結果，但可以確切得知報紙社論上，「報導特性」之引述表達方式常常被使用，且成為規範文本社會類型特質的決定關鍵要素。報紙引述表達的特徵，與當今的認知有所差異。目前文法論上不被當作引述之非直接（無標的）引述，其實是常被巧妙利用的方式。且結合了文法論上的直接（有標的）引述，發揮非直接（無標的）引述之傳達機能。使得傳達動機結構上出現了一大突破。也證明此手法的確在各大報紙媒體上廣泛地被應用的事實。

The research from the form on syntax and grammar of quotation in Japanese study is formerly in the mainstream. This paper has chosen for the editorial as a case study sample about a text with a concrete genre, and has analyzed quotation from a point of the ”characteristic on report” which determines its genre.As a result, the quotation expression of the editorial has direct (markedness) quotation which has made discussion issue by grammar at first. Simultaneously with it, the unmarked quotation produced by ”characteristic on report” is shown in its quotation expression.Quotation expression produced by ”characteristic on report” is used abundantly at the newspaper editorial. And it is tinged with the character in which the social genre characteristic of a text is specified. The feature of a newspaper quotation expression is at a point with much unmarked quotation expression. And another feature of it is that it is combined with grammar theory markedness quotation and unmarked quotation is used with important functions on the communication structure of some expression intentions in a text at the paper company.
