[Tex/LaTex] biblatex: uppercase in \parencite, but not in \textcite

biblatexcapitalizationciting

How can I make \parencite produce an uppercase output, but normal case for \textcite?

Result:

\parencite{CARNAP1934} -> (CARNAP, 1934)

\textcite{CARNAP1934} -> Carnap (1934)

\section{Intro}

\textcite{CARNAP1937}

\section{Conclusion}

\parencite{CARNAP1935}

\parencite{SCHICKORE2006}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

The .bib:

@book{CARNAP1935,
Address = {London},
Author = {Carnap, Rudolf},
Publisher = {Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner \& Co.},
Title = {Philosophy and Logical Syntax},
Year = {1935}}

@book{CARNAP1937,
Address = {London},
Author = {Carnap, Rudolf},
Note = {Transl. Amethe Smeaton (Countess von Zeppelin)},
Publisher = {Kegan Paul},
Title = {The Logical Syntax of Language},
Year = 1937}

@book{SCHICKORE2006,
Address = {Dordrecht},
Author = {Schickore, J. and Steinle, F.},
Publisher = {Kluwer Academic Pub},
Title = {Revisiting discovery and justification: historical and philosophical perspectives on the context distinction},
Volume = {14},
Year = {2006}}

I think the only way is the redefinition of the cite command. In the example below I defined a new macro named uppercite which formats the name via the redefinition of \mkbibnamelast:

\DeclareCiteCommand{\parencite}[\mkbibparens]
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
  \usebibmacro{uppercite}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\newbibmacro*{uppercite}{%
  \iffieldundef{shorthand}
    {\ifthenelse{\ifnameundef{labelname}\OR\iffieldundef{labelyear}}
       {\usebibmacro{cite:label}%
        \setunit{\addspace}}
       {\def\mkbibnamelast##1{\MakeUppercase{##1}}\printnames{labelname}%
        \setunit{\nameyeardelim}}%
     \usebibmacro{cite:labelyear+extrayear}}
    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

The complete MWE is:

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{CARNAP1935,

[Tex/LaTex] Parencite “within” textcite

Since you cannot do nested citations (see also here) there is only a work around: I take your MWE (just changed bibtex-keys):

\documentclass[11pt,
    a4paper,
    oneside,
    notitlepage,
    hidelinks,
    onehalfspacing]{book}
\usepackage[authordate,
    backend=biber,
    cmsdate=both,
    useprefix=false]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
    @book{dray,
        author = {Dray, William H.},
        title = {Laws and Explanation in History},
        year = 1957,
        location = {Oxford, UK},
        publisher = {Oxford University Press},
    }

    @inbook{hempel,
        author = {Hempel, Carl G.},
        title = {Reasons and Covering Laws in Historical Explanation},
        subtitle = {Studies in Science, Explanation, and Rationality},
        booktitle = {The Philosophy of Carl G. Hempel},
        bookeditor = {Fetzer, James E.},
        year = 2001,
        origyear = 1963,
        location = {New York},
        publisher = {Oxford University Press},
        pages = {297--310},
    }
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\citeauthor{dray} \parentext{\cite*{dray}, \cite[see e.g.][]{hempel}}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

That is the result:

[Tex/LaTex] Biblatex: Using “and” within textcite, “&” within parencite, “&” within bibliography

Change of the final name delimiter between \parencite and \textcite from "&" to "and" as in

(Sigfridsson & Ryde, 1998) and Sigfridsson and Ryde (1998)

is a feature of APA style. See for example https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/01/writing-in-text-citations-in-apa-style.html and https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/02/changes-parentheses-bring.html.

If you are looking for a complete implementation of APA style with biblatex, you may be interested in biblatex-apa, which when loaded as
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=apa]{biblatex}
should produce a bibliography and citations according to APA guidelines.

The answer below shows how to change the final name delimiter in the standard styles.

With the new context sensitive delimiter interface that should be as easy as redefining finalnamdelim in global scope to give an ampersand and to give "and" for textcite.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[style=authoryear, backend=biber]{biblatex}


\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareDelimFormat{finalnamedelim}{\addspace\&\space}
\DeclareDelimFormat[textcite]{finalnamedelim}{%
  \ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
  \addspace\bibstring{and}\space}

\begin{document}
\cite{sigfridsson,companion}

\parencite{sigfridsson,companion}

\textcite{sigfridsson,companion}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

$Sigfridsson & Ryde 1998; Goossens, Mittelbach & Samarin 1994\(Sigfridsson & Ryde 1998; Goossens, Mittelbach & Samarin 1994)\Sigfridsson and Ryde (1998) and Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin (1994)\Goossens, Michel, Frank Mittelbach & Alexander Samarin (1994).\Sigfridsson, Emma & Ulf Ryde (1998).$

Edited to use the context sensitive delimiter interface. See the edit history for older versions of biblatex.
