7. What is plagiarism?
“It is common knowledge that everyone learns his first
language with a fair degree of success, the reason being
that everyone is born with the ability to learn a language
and then grows up in a community in which he needs to
function to some degree through language, the rules of
which are imparted to him in the normal course of the
day” (Rubin, 1975, p. 41)
1. Rubin (1975) states that it is
commonly known that everyone learns
his/her first language to a relatively
good degree of success, because
everyone is born with this ability and
then grows up in a family where the
rules of the language are taught.
2. Rubin (1975) states that all
individuals are born with an innate
ability to acquire language, which
is then developed and nurtured in
the individual’s cultural
surroundings through daily
interactions.
