Western Rhetoric and Plagiarism: Gatekeeping for an English-Only International Academia.
Prochaska, Eric
Writing On the Edge, v12 n2 p65-79 Spr-Sum 2001
Explains that as a modern Western concept, the notion of plagiarism is now being used as a gate-keeping device, employed chiefly against non-English writing academics. Notes that international scholars are required to write in English and that access to English creates an academic elite who may master the rhetorical patterns of English. Discusses definitions of plagiarism, and how it can be coped with in the classroom. (PM)
