  Examines plagiarism, the inappropriate relationship between a text and its sources, from a linguistic perspective. This book uses empirical data drawn from a sample of student writing, compared against written sources to argue that some plagiarism can be regarded as a failure of pedagogy rather than a deliberate attempt to transgress.
