 WHAT IS PARAPHRASING?

 WHAT IS PARAPHRASING?

someone else’s thoughts or ideas in
your own words. You must always cite
your source when paraphrasing’ (Pears
& Shields, 2019 p. 245).

 WHAT IS PARAPHRASING?

• What is the purpose of paraphrasing?

• Why bother paraphrasing when you can just
quote the primary or secondary source?
• With a variety of benefits, paraphrasing
comes in handy in quite a few different
situations.
SIX COMMON REASONS TO
PARAPHRASE
 1. Improve word choice

• Sometimes you just want to rewrite the

original text in your own words—
maybe you want to fit it to your
personal writing style, or perhaps you
just prefer your own word choice.
 1. Improve word choice

• In any case, paraphrasing gives you

the chance to pick your own words or
phrases while keeping the core of the
message the same.
 2.Change subject matter

• Paraphrasing is very useful if you like the

wording of the original passage but want to
change the subject to apply to something
else.
 2.Change subject matter

• For example, Will Rogers’s famous

quote, “I never met a man I didn’t like,”
is often paraphrased, sometimes
humorously, as in comedian Jim
Gaffigan saying, “I never met a
cheeseburger I didn’t like.”
 3.Avoid plagiarizing

• Rewriting someone’s text without

changing the words is plagiarism. If
you want to repeat a sentiment or cite
another person’s research,
 3.Avoid plagiarizing

• you have to at least put it into your

own words or quote it directly, but
overusing quotes can also be
problematic, as we see below.
 4. Avoid overusing quotes

• Quotations are great when the author

said it best themselves, but use too
many quotes and you’re essentially
just copying someone else’s work.
 4. Avoid overusing quotes

• If you’re constantly referencing others’

works, it’s best to switch between
paraphrasing and direct quotes to
make a piece of writing your own.
 5. Avoid problematic language

• Occasionally, the language in a direct

quote won’t fit what you’re writing.
Often this is a mechanical mistake,
such as a partial quote with the wrong
subject-verb agreement or gender
pronoun.
 5. Avoid problematic language

• Other times, it could be insensitive or

outdated language. For example, the
famous (albeit antiquated) line “a good
man is hard to find” can be
paraphrased more modernly as “a
good partner is hard to find.”
 6. Shorten lengthy quotes

• Last, paraphrasing works wonders when you

need to condense a long, verbose quote to
make it more digestible. Some writers get
paid by the word, so to speak, but if you’re
writing something meant to be concise, you
can paraphrase their original text more
succinctly.
