{"product_id":"academic-writing-and-plagiarism-diane-pecorari-9781472589101","title":"Academic Writing and Plagiarism: A Linguistic Analysis","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlagiarism 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, \u003ci\u003eAcademic Writing and Plagiarism\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcademic Writing and Plagiarism \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for those in applied linguistics concerned with the transmission and adaptation of knowledge and discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Pecorari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472589106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472589101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Diane Pecorari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458585899263,"sku":"9781472589101","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5cef652-28c7-4cd8-97d5-5260f97ed37f.jpg?v=1777405341","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/academic-writing-and-plagiarism-diane-pecorari-9781472589101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
