What is paraphrasing?
Unlike proofreading and editing, not so many people are familiar with the concept of paraphrasing or what it involves.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines a paraphrase as “the same thing written or spoken using different words, often in a simpler and shorter form that makes the original meaning clearer.”
Oxford Dictionary’s definition of paraphrasing is “expressing the meaning of (something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.”
In short, paraphrasing is rewording something while still expressing the original idea.
