Paraphrases are defined as a restatement of a text, passage or idea with different wording. Antonyms for paraphrases would be words or phrases that represent the opposite meaning in context to paraphrasing. Repetition, copying, plagiarism, and verbatim are antonyms for paraphrases. Repetition pertains to the act of reiterating the same phrase or sentence, whereas copying connotes a straightforward procedure of transforming text into another language, and plagiarism is the act of using and presenting others' work without their permission or proper citation. Lastly, verbatim is defined as a protocol of repeating or quoting something exactly as it was said, without changing a single word. These words oppose the concept of paraphrasing by emphasizing duplication, mimicry, or direct speech.
