Source Blending: Quotations

NPS Graduate Writing Center

Quoting means borrowing a source's language word-for-word, using special formatting rules in addition to citing to signal that the language is someone else's. Quoting is most useful when the source's language is distinctive, authoritative, controversial, or worded so precisely that paraphrasing would substantially alter its meaning.
