Position quote in speech (4)
I believe the answer is:
site
'position' is the definition.
(I know that site is a type of position)
'quote in speech' is the wordplay.
'quote' becomes 'cite' (synonyms).
'in speech' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'cite' is a homophone of 'SITE'.
(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Locale" , "internet location" , "Location (of building, dig etc)" , "Whereabouts" , "Position; situation" .)
