Opis

Stolen Language? Plagiarism in Writing uncovers the reasons why students plagiarize, and explains what can be done about it. The book shows that the subject of plagiarism is complex and contested, and suggests that in student academic writing it may be a result of learning difficulties related to the educational environment, the nature of academic discourse and the nature of language.

Recenzje

'By taking what may appear to be an uncontested, 'natural' concept, plagiarism, and teasing out its contradictions, this author provides useful insights for sociolinguists.' Gail Stygall, University of Washington, Journal of Sociolinguistics 6/3, 2002.
