	Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: A Paraphrase
		This paraphrase of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar is intended as a supplement to the original work.
		The entire paraphrase was completed in August 2000.
		In compiling Acts I, II, and III of this paraphrase, I relied heavily on two sources: the teachers' editions of the Prentice Hall Literature Platinum Edition (Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1989) and the Literature and Language Blue Level (Robert S. Boone, McDougal, Littell & Company, Dallas, 1992).

	UC Writing Handouts: Paraphrase and Summary

		Note that the paraphrase splits the original into two separate paragraphs to accentuate the two-part structure of Sacks' argument.

		Paraphrase 1: “Most cognitive scientists, whether they are neuroscientists or psychologists or artificial intelligence researchers, tend to avoid questions about consciousness by focusing mainly on peripheral and subordinate systems of the mind/brain, which are thought to assist a mysterious center where consciousness and subjective experience happen.
		Paraphrase 3 is a strong and fair paraphrase because it captures the essence of Dennett’s idea—that scientists still assume a “control center” in their research—in the writer’s own words.
		Paraphrase 3 is also shorter than the original—another good sign, since an effective paraphrase takes the pith of the original and leaves behind secondary commentary or asides in the original source.

	Paraphrase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Avoiding Paraphrase Plagiarism
		Unacceptable paraphrase, particularly close paraphrase, usually shows the student does not have a significant understanding of the subject and opens the possibility of misrepresenting the original author's ideas.
		As with all cases of partial plagiarism, it is possible to use a close paraphrase with the appropriate attribution and citation style.
		While direct quotation is almost always preferred, close paraphrase might be used in cases where the quoted passage uses some difficult to understand terms, or is unnecessarily long for the purposes of the paper, or uses an inconvenient grammatical turn.

	Paraphrasing
		Paraphrasing is an effective writing tool because it allows you to back up your ideas with evidence from outside sources, while still maintaining the rhetorical power of word choice for yourself.
		A paraphrase should be as long as (or possible longer than) the original source.
		In fact, if you were to read each sentence in my paraphrase, and find its equal in the original, you would see that each sentence corresponds directly to a sentence in the original.

	Paraphrasing and Summarizing
		Paraphrasing is a way for you to smoothly integrate the ideas of someone else into your own essay.
		When a writer paraphrases a section from a source (for instance, when a student paraphrases a few sentences from a newspaper article to use in his research paper), what he is actually doing is turning the original text into his own words.
		Paraphrases, when they appear within a paper, must be cited, because they are the author's ideas that come from the original work, not your own ideas.

	Should I use a paraphrase of the Bible?
		A paraphrase of the Bible is different from a translation in that a translation attempts (to varying degrees) to communicate as “word-for-word” as possible.
		A paraphrase takes the meaning of a verse or passage of Scripture and attempts to express the meaning in “plain language” – essentially the words the author of the paraphrase would use to say the same thing.
		A paraphrase of the Bible, though, should not be viewed as the Bible, but rather as an author’s rendering of the text of the Bible.

	This file contains pairs of sentences gleaned over a period of 18 months from thousands of news sources on the web
		If a full paraphrase relationship can be described as “bidirectional entailment”, then the majority of the “equivalent” pairs in this dataset exhibit “mostly bidirectional entailments”, with one sentence containing information that differs from or is not contained in the other.
		Our interest was in identifying more complex paraphrase relationships, which required a somewhat looser definition of what “semantic equivalence” means. In an effort to focus on these more interesting pairs, the dataset was restricted to pairs with a minimum word-based Levenshtein distance of ≥ 8.
		A variety of automatic filtering techniques were used to create an initial dataset that was rich in paraphrase relationships, and the success of these techniques meant that approximately 70% of the pairs examined by raters were, by our criteria, semantically equivalent.

	Quotation, Paraphrase, Summary: Academic Integrity: Adelphi University
		Generally in the sciences and social sciences, paraphrases and summaries are preferred, though a quotation of a few words is useful for borrowing particularly apt phrasing or technical language.
		A good summary or paraphrase is often more effective than a quotation to demonstrate to your readers that you have a good grasp of the material you have read.
		This strategy also ensures that, when you paraphrase and summarize, you actually understand the ideas you are using, which is the whole point of the exercise.

	BCWC Guide to Paraphrasing, Summarizing, and Quoting
		To paraphrase means to restate a portion of a text with the purpose, usually, of clarifying it.
		A paraphrase should not include the wording of the original passage, nor should it follow the same sentence structure as the original passage.
		Paraphrased information must be accompanied by a citation, or in-text reference to the source from which you took the information, just as quoted material must be.

		Paraphrase, but be sure you are not just rearranging or replacing a few words.
		Instead, read over what you want to paraphrase carefully; cover up the text with your hand, or close the text so you can’t see any of it (and so aren’t tempted to use the text as a “guide”).
		Check your paraphrase against the original text to be sure you have not accidentally used the same phrases or words, and that the information is accurate.

	Incorporating Sources
		Paraphrases are the translation of the author's meaning into your own words, usually on a detailed level.

		Paraphrase: According to Booth, Colomb, and Williams, writers sometimes plagiarize unconsciously because they think they are summarizing, when in fact they are closely paraphrasing, an act that counts as plagiarism, even when done unintentionally and sources are cited (169).

		It is a legitimate way to include information in your paper, as long as you have (1) fully restated the borrowed phrases in a different way and (2) have made sure to include correct documentation that gives credit to the source you have referenced.
		When you paraphrase, you need to rewrite the source material so that it is entirely in your own words.

		Moreover, attempts at a complete paraphrase of poems tend to need metaphors in order to capture their meaning, but these metaphors in their turn stand in need of a paraphrase.
