“…There also exist typologies that focus on concrete paraphrase cases, such as paraphrases involving support-verb constructions (Barreiro, 2008: pp. 73-81), and typologies that come from paraphrase related fields, such as text reuse (Clough, 2003: p. 100) or editing (Faigley & Witte, 1981).…”

A precise and commonly accepted definition of paraphrasing does not exist. This is one of the reasons that have prevented computational linguistics from a real success when dealing with this phenomenon in its systems and applications. With the aim of helping to overcome this difficulty, in this article, new insights on paraphrase characterization are provided. We first overview what has been said on paraphrasing from linguistics and the new lights shed on the phenomenon from computational linguistics. Under the light of the shortcomings observed, the paraphrase phenomenon is studied from two different perspectives. On the one hand, insights on paraphrase boundaries are set out analyzing paraphrase borderline cases and the interaction of paraphrasing with related linguistic phenomena. On the other hand, a new paraphrase typology is presented. It goes beyond a simple list of types and is embedded in a linguistically-based hierarchical structure. This typology has been empirically validated through corpus annotation and its application in the plagiarism-detection domain.

Abstract-Linking and tracking news stories covering the same events written in different languages is a challenging task. In natural languages same informat ion may be expressed in mult iple ways and newspapers try to exploit this feature for making the news stories more appealing. It has been observed that the same news story is presented in same as well as in different language in different ways but normally the g ist remains the same. Diversity of linguistic expressions presents a major challenge in identifying and tracking news stories covering the same events across languages , but doing so may provide rich and valuable resources as comparable and parallel corpora can be generated with this resource. In the case of Indian languages there exist limited language resources for Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval tasks and identifying comparable and parallel documents would offer a potential source for deriving b ilingual d ictionaries and training statistical Machine Translation systems. Paraphrasing is the most common way of reproducing news stories and translated text is also a type of paraphrase. Prior to linking monolingual or b ilingual news stories, these paraphrase types need to identified and classified to help researchers to devise techniques to solve these challenging problems. English-Hindi language pair not only differs in their scripts but also in their g rammar and vocabulary. A number of paraphrase typologies have been built fro m the perspective of Natural Language Processing or for some or the other specific applicat ions but as per the knowledge of the authors, no typology have been reported for English-Hindi cross language text reuse. In this paper a typology is formulated for cross lingual journalistic text reuse in English-Hindi. Typology unravels level of difficult ies in English-Hindi mapping. It shall help in devising techniques for linking and tracking English-Hindi stories

“…These variables are situational variables. Situational variables are: reason of writing, format, language, type, writer's confidence while writing, writer's familiarity with the subject, writer's understanding of the audience, level of formality, and length of writing (Faigley and Witte, 1981).…”

This study aims to analyze written expression revision skills of students in Turkish Education Department, Education Faculty. This study was done using qualitative research method. The study group of the research consisted of 3rd grade students. The research data were collected by means of document review, a qualitative research technique.The data in the research were analyzed descriptively; content analysis was applied to the data as well. In the obtained findings, it was observed that Turkish teacher candidates did not have adequate knowledge concerning revising part of processbased writing model, and that they did not apply this step of process-based writing efficiently in the writing process. It was seen that the students made changes respectively in word level and surface level, mostly in the revision process. While these changes pertain to punctuation and correct use of particles in the surface level, they gather around sections of adding and placing in the word level.
