  1. Using Quotations in Scholarly Writing John A. Cagle

  2. Each time research material is used: • First, you write a sentence expressing a point you want to make at this part of your paper. • Second, you properly use and cite your research material. • Third, you comment upon the quotation and/or state how the quotation supports the point you’re making.

  3. Plagiarism • Failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas • Failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks • Failing to put summaries and paraphrases into your own words.

  4. Original Source • No animal has done more to renew interest in animal intelligence than a beguiling, bilingual bonobo named Kanzi, who has the grammatical abilities of a 21/2 year old child and a taste for movies about cavemen. • Eugene Linden, “Animals,” p. 57.

  5. Plagiarism • According to Eugene Linden, no animal has done more to renew interest in animal intelligence than a beguiling, bilingual bonobo named Kanzi, who has the grammatical abilities of a 2 1/2 year old child and a taste for movies about cavemen (57).

  6. Borrowed Language in Quotation Marks • According to Eugene Linden, “No animal has done more to renew interest in animal intelligence than a beguiling, bilingual bonobo named Kanzi, who has the grammatical abilities of a 2 1/2 year old child and a taste for movies about cavemen” (57).

  7. Each time research material is used: • First, you write a sentence expressing a point you want to make at this part of your paper. • Second, you properly use and cite your research material. [See next slide] • Third, you comment upon the quotation and/or state how the quotation supports the point you’re making.

  8. To properly use a quotation • Integrate the quotation (or paraphrase or material) into your language with a signal phrase. • Insert the quotation or paraphrase. • Put the parenthetical citation at the end.

  9. Signal Phrases • In the words of Eugene Linden, “No animal . . .” • As Eugene Linden wrote, “No animal . . .” • One researcher, Eugene Linden, claimed that “no animal . . .” • “No animal,” Linden pointed out, “has done more . . .” • Linden offered the argument that “no animal has . . .”

  10. Using Research in Writing • First, each piece of information is embedded in a paragraph you have written in support of your thesis. It does not stand alone. Whether a paraphrase or a direct quotation or a summary of facts or important facts themselves, each piece of information is woven into the fabric of your ideas. • Second, the source of each piece of information is acknowledged in the text of your paper and given a proper citation.  This is called an in-text citation. • Third, the full bibliographic information is given for each source in a Works Cited page at the end of the paper. • Finally, the paper needed to be presented in a professional format.

  11. General Format of Paragraph Your topic sentence xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx. Your statement of a point developing the topic sentence xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx. A signal phrase introduces the quotation, "The quotation or paraphrase goes here xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx" (Author 43). A comment or interpretation of the quotation which links back to the topic sentence follows the use of the quotation xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx. Your statement of a second point developing the topic sentence xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx.. A summary sentence reiterating the main point of the paragraph and, perhaps, a transition to the point of the next paragraph.

  12. Signal phrase Luis Bunuel wrote of life in the upper class in Spain: "The only thing my father would carry in the street was his elegantly wrapped jar of caviar. According to social convention, men of 'rank' were never supposed to carry anything; that's what servants were for. Even when I went o my music lesson, my governess always carried the violin case" (25).

  13. Author not in signal phrase There was considerable difference between the upper class and the worker in Spain. As a Spanish director observed about his childhood, "The only thing my father would carry in the street was his elegantly wrapped jar of caviar. According to social convention, men of 'rank' were never supposed to carry anything; that's what servants were for. Even when I went o my music lesson, my governess always carried the violin case" (Bunuel 25).

  14. Set off long quotations Desmond describes how Washoe tried signing to the other apes: One particularly memorable day, a snake spread terror through the castaways on the ape island, and all but one fled in panic. This male sat absorbs, staring intently at the serpent. Then Washoe was seen running over signing to him “come, hurry up.” (42)

  15. Author’s name in Signal Phrase • According to Eugene Linden, “No animal has done more to renew interest in animal intelligence than a beguiling, bilingual bonobo named Kanzi, who has the grammatical abilities of a 2 1/2 year old child and a taste for movies about cavemen” (57).

  16. Author not in Signal Phrase • According to one writer, “No animal has done more to renew interest in animal intelligence than a beguiling, bilingual bonobo named Kanzi, who has the grammatical abilities of a 2 1/2 year old child and a taste for movies about cavemen” (Linden 57).
