What is a quote?
Some examples of
writing a quote
Example 1
The first attempt to challenge the concept
of native speaker was Paikedays (1985).
The native speaker is dead, in which it is
argued that the native speaker exist only
as a figment of linguists imagination
(Paikeday, 1985, p. 12). Paikeday
suggested using the term proficient user of
a language to refer to all speakers who can
successfully use it.
Example 2
Medgyes (1992) attempts to differentiate
between native speaker and non-native
speaker, arguing that non-native speakers
can never achieve a native speakers
competence because they can never be as
creative and original as those whom they
have learnt to copy (pp. 342-343).
