- If the verbatimness view derives from the popular notion that DST repeats 'the actual words spoken', a second line of thought takes its cue from Quine's (1940: 23–26, 1960: 146–156) philosophical distinction between words which are “used” vs. words which are merely “mentioned”.

- If I said rightly, “'Niggers' is a seven letter word,” I would be mentioning the word, and when we write it, we use mention-quotes for this purpose (speech typically lacks quotes, except for the occasional air-quotes). If I said, rightly or wrongly, “Niggers are good athletes,” then I would be using “niggers,” not merely mentioning it.

pamphlet
English
Etymology
c. 1387, Middle English pamphilet, panflet (“small, unbound treatise”), from Anglo-Norman Pamphilet, diminutive of Old French Pamphile, used as a popular shorthand for the 12th century Latin love poem Pamphilus (seu) de amore (“Pamphilus (or) On Love”), which was so widely circulated in pamphlets as to give name to the whole phenomenon; the eponym from Ancient Greek ???????? (Pámphilos, literally “beloved by all”), deriving from ???- (pan-) +? ????? (phílos). Further borrowed as Anglo-Latin panflettus.
For the use of the diminutive of the author's name as shorthand for Latin titles in French cf. Ysopet/Esopet from Ésope, Catonet from Caton, Avionet from Avianus.
