Use “quoted word” or \quotation{quoted word}.
Since you're using Linux: if you set your keyboard layout to `English (international AltGr dead keys)`, your keyboard will behave like an ordinary US keyboard, but you can use AltGr (right Alt) to get special characters. Specifically, you can get ‘’ with AltGr + 9 and AltGr + 0 “” with AltGr + { and AltGr + } «» with AltGr + [ and AltGr + ] That might make the quotations easier to type, if you decide to input them “literally” instead of \quotation{structurally}. The AltGr dead keys keyboard is very nice in general, not least because it is indistinguishable from a normal US keyboard under normal usage. Cheers, Sietse
