- This study investigated the use of block quotations (BQs) in 25 English Literature (EL) and Applied Linguistics (AL) articles published in 2007-2009 in five volumes of an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) academic journal. A block quotation is a direct quotation that consists of four or more lines, presented in a text by indenting its beginning on the left side of the text and without using quotation marks. Findings show (a) the use of BQs as a whole in the EL and AL articles; (b) the frequency of BQs in the sections of the articles; and (c) the appropriateness of the use of the BQs in the articles. This study is significant to support the argument that the ways of integrating the borrowed words and ideas in the texts of the borrowers may vary depending on the borrowers’ backgrounds and their knowledge and skills of producing academic texts.
