·+Paraphrase

Quotations: A quotation is the repetition of one expression as part of another one, particularly when the quoted expression is well-known or explicitly attributed (as by citation) to its original source. There are 2 types of quotations: Ø // Direct quotations: // where words are enclosed in quotation marks Ø // Indirect quotations: // this is usually a paraphrase of the original. //__ PARAPHRASE __//

Paraphrasing is a restatement of the quotation using your own words. When you paraphrase, you don't rely on the words of the author of the quotation to create an impact on your readers' minds. You use your own words. There are different techniques of paraphrase: 1. // By changing the vocabulary: // if you change some of the words from the original sentence. (e.g. aim= purpose) 2. // By transfer active to passive voice sentences: // original sentence takes immediately a new look without changing anything else. Also informal verbs should be replaced by formal verbs (e.g. set up= established) 3. // By turning the verb into a noun: // original sentence takes a new look too, if you make the verb, noun, and start your new sentence (e.g. established- establishment)
