A <a href="/wiki/Dash" title="Dash">dash</a> before and after the material is also sometimes used. Parentheses may be used in formal writing to add supplementary information, such as "Senator John McCain (<a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">R</a> - Arizona) spoke at length". They can also indicate shorthand for "<a href="/wiki/Uncertain_plural" title="Uncertain plural">either singular or plural</a>" for nouns, e.g. "the claim(s)".

Parenthetical phrases have been used extensively in informal writing and stream of consciousness literature. Examples include the southern American author <a href="/wiki/William_Faulkner" title="William Faulkner">William Faulkner</a> (see <a href="/wiki/Absalom,_Absalom!" title="Absalom, Absalom!">Absalom, Absalom!</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Sound_and_the_Fury#Part_2:_June_2,_1910" title="The Sound and the Fury">the Quentin section of The Sound and the Fury</a>) as well as poet <a href="/wiki/E._E._Cummings" title="E. E. Cummings">E. E. Cummings</a>. Parentheses have historically been used where the <a href="/wiki/Em_dash" class="mw-redirect" title="Em dash">em dash</a> is currently used in alternatives, such as "parenthesis)(parentheses". Examples of this usage can be seen in editions of <a href="/wiki/A_Dictionary_of_Modern_English_Usage" title="A Dictionary of Modern English Usage">Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage</a>. Parentheses may be nested (generally with one set (such as this) inside another set). This is not commonly used in formal writing (though sometimes other brackets [especially square brackets] will be used for one or more inner set of parentheses [in other words, secondary {or even tertiary} phrases can be found within the main parenthetical sentence]). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Language">Language</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bracket&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Language">edit</a>]</div> A <a href="/wiki/Parenthesis_(rhetoric)" title="Parenthesis (rhetoric)">parenthesis in rhetoric</a> and <a href="/wiki/Linguistics" title="Linguistics">linguistics</a> refers to the entire bracketed text, not just to the enclosing marks used (so all the text in this set of round brackets may be described as "a parenthesis").<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Taking as an example the sentence "Mrs. Pennyfarthing (What?

Again, the parenthesis implies that the meaning and flow of the bracketed phrase is supplemental to the rest of the text and the whole would be unchanged were the parenthesized sentences removed.

[laughs] ...". When quoted material is in any way altered, the alterations are enclosed in square brackets within the quotation to show that the quotation is not exactly as given, or to add an <a href="/wiki/Annotation" title="Annotation">annotation</a>.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> For example: The Plaintiff asserted his cause is just, stating, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">[m]y causes is <a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">[sic]</a> just.</blockquote> In the original quoted sentence, the word "my" was capitalized: it has been modified in the quotation given and the change signalled with brackets. Similarly, where the quotation contained a grammatical error (is/are), the quoting author signalled that the error was in the original with "[sic]" (Latin for 'thus'). A bracketed <a href="/wiki/Ellipsis" title="Ellipsis">ellipsis</a>, [...], is often used to indicate omitted material: "I'd like to thank [several unimportant people] for their tolerance [...]"<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> Bracketed comments inserted into a quote indicate where the original has been modified for clarity: "I appreciate it [the honor], but I must refuse", and "the future of psionics [see definition] is in doubt". Or one can quote the original statement "I hate to do laundry" with a (sometimes grammatical) modification inserted: He "hate[s] to do laundry". Additionally, a small letter can be replaced by a capital one, when the beginning of the original printed text is being quoted in another piece of text or when the original text has been omitted for succinctness— for example, when referring to a <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/verbose" class="extiw" title="wikt:verbose">verbose</a> original: "To the extent that policymakers and elite opinion in general have made use of economic analysis at all, they have, as the saying goes, done so the way a drunkard uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination", can be quoted succinctly as: "[P]olicymakers [...] have made use of economic analysis [...] the way a drunkard uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination." When nested parentheses are needed, brackets are sometimes used as a substitute for the inner pair of parentheses within the outer pair.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> When deeper levels of nesting are needed, convention is to alternate between parentheses and brackets at each level. Alternatively, empty square brackets can also indicate omitted material, usually single letter only. The original, "Reading is also a process and it also changes you." can be rewritten in a quote as: It has been suggested that reading can "also change[] you".<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> In translated works, brackets are used to signify the same word or phrase in the original language to avoid ambiguity.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> For example: He is trained in the way of the open hand [karate]. <a href="/wiki/Style_guide" title="Style guide">Style and usage guides</a> originating in the <a href="/wiki/News_media#History" title="News media">news industry of the twentieth century</a>, such as the <a href="/wiki/AP_Stylebook" title="AP Stylebook">AP Stylebook</a>, recommend against the use of square brackets because "They cannot be transmitted over <a href="/wiki/List_of_wire_services" title="List of wire services">news wires</a>."<a href="#cite_note-AP2014-42">[42]</a> However, this guidance has little relevance outside of the technological constraints of the industry and era. In linguistics, <a href="/wiki/Phonetic_transcription" title="Phonetic transcription">phonetic transcriptions</a> are generally enclosed within square brackets,<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> whereas <a href="/wiki/Phonemic" class="mw-redirect" title="Phonemic">phonemic</a> transcriptions typically use paired <a href="/wiki/Slash_(punctuation)" title="Slash (punctuation)">slashes</a>, according to <a href="/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet#Brackets_and_transcription_delimiters" title="International Phonetic Alphabet">International Phonetic Alphabet</a> rules. Pipes (| |) are often used to indicate a <a href="/wiki/Morphophoneme" class="mw-redirect" title="Morphophoneme">morphophonemic</a> rather than phonemic representation. Other conventions are double slashes (⫽ ⫽), double pipes (‖ ‖) and curly brackets ({ }).
