Plagiarism has long been regarded with concern by the university
community as a serious act of wrongdoing threatening core academic
values. There has been a perceived increase in plagiarism over
recent years, due in part to issues raised by the new media, a
diverse student population and the rise in English as a lingua
franca. This book examines plagiarism, the inappropriate
relationship between a text and its sources, from a linguistic
perspective. Diane Pecorari brings recent linguistic research to
bear on plagiarism, including processes of first and second
language writers; interplay between reading and writing; writer's
identity and voice; and the expectations of the academic discourse
community. Using empirical data drawn from a large sample of
student writing, compared against written sources, Academic Writing
and Plagiarism argues that some plagiarism, in this linguistic
context, can be regarded as a failure of pedagogy rather than a
deliberate attempt to transgress. The book examines the
implications of this gap between the institutions' expectations of
the students, student performance and institutional awareness, and
suggests pedagogic solutions to be implemented at student, tutor
and institutional levels. Academic Writing and Plagiarism is a
cutting-edge research monograph which will be essential reading for
researchers in applied linguistics.
