QUOTING Meaning and
Definition
-
Quoting is the act of reproducing or repeating someone else's words or statements verbatim or with slight modifications. It involves expressing or referencing the exact words or phrases used by another individual, either in written or spoken form. Quoting is commonly utilized in various contexts, such as academia, journalism, research, literature, and legal proceedings.
In academic writing, quoting is an essential tool for supporting arguments, providing evidence, or acknowledging the work of other scholars. It helps to lend credibility and authority to a writer's assertions by incorporating direct quotations from published sources. Similarly, journalism relies on quoting to accurately report what individuals have said during interviews or public appearances.
Quoting often involves using quotation marks ("...") to set off the quoted words from the rest of the text, indicating that they are not the writer's original words. In some instances, longer quotes may be presented in block format, where the text is indented and set apart from the surrounding text.
While quoting primarily involves expressing the exact words of someone else, it is also possible to paraphrase or summarize their ideas while still giving credit to the original source. Quoting is essential in maintaining academic integrity and avoiding plagiarism, as it gives proper attribution to the original author or speaker.

Etymology of QUOTING
