"The Plagiarism Case is Initiated Again": Examination of Texts Containing Unattributed Borrowing
УДК 81’3, ББК 81.1
Abstract
The article covers the expert assessment of unattributed borrowings: plagiarism and rewriting. The applicability of the theoretical and methodological foundations of forensic examination of intellectual property objects related to tackling plagiarism issues is determined by a substantial increase in disputes over the protection of intellectual property, the need for effective forensic support of legal proceedings, including those related to the protection of exclusive intellectual property rights. The article examines the linguistic and legal definitions of plagiarism and the range of concepts associated with unauthorized borrowing of the text. Expert approaches to the definition of unattributed borrowings in the examination of intellectual property objects are presented, and the relationship of this type of examination with linguistic and authorship expertise is shown. The identification of plagiarism is classified as a diagnostic task; it is shown that modern software products should be used to solve this problem. At the same time, it has been demonstrated that quantification of borrowed text can be complicated due to the presence of extra-textual reference (common materials used by the authors). The expert-significant concept of "redesign" is introduced, the working definition of text processing and approaches to identification of text modifications are given. The questions that may face an expert are proposed, and ways of solving expert tasks are outlined. Individual cases from expert practice are considered, which makes it possible to demonstrate the complexity of solutions to plagiarism detection problems. The problem of plagiarism is considered against a broad background of related topics linked to the study of derived texts: intertextuality, precedent, citation. In the context of the current situation related to the proliferation of automatic text generation technologies, the problem of plagiarism requires search for new expert solutions.
