藉由選擇特定動詞來引用資料來源，
關於如何使用「引述動詞」，這裡有一些文法句型可供參考模仿：
句型 1：reporting verb (引述動詞) + that + subject (主詞) + verb (動詞)
＊acknowledge, admit, agree, allege, argue, assert, assume, believe, claim, conclude, consider, decide, demonstrate, deny, determine, discover, doubt, emphasize, explain, find, hypothesize, imply, indicate, infer, note, object, observe, point, out, prove, reveal, say, show, state, suggest, think
a. Smith argued that X influences Y.
b. Previous researchers have implied that the procedure is harmful.
c. Smith found that X’s are improved by class factors.
d. Lee inferred that both states are vital.
請注意這些動詞的意義都不相同，並且不能互相替換使用。
例句(b)的動詞imply，表明你判斷研究者的證據及推理相當具有說服力，
小心使用動詞discuss或express與that
連接的用法，請參考下列的例子。
錯誤：The reviewer expressed that the movie is not worth seeing. (X)
正確：The reviewer expressed the view that the movie is not worth seeing. (O)
注意：這個類別的動詞也可能出現於以As為開頭的從屬子句。
a. As Smith demonstrated, errors made by previous researchers need to be corrected.
b. As researchers have shown, the procedure is harmful.
句型 2：reporting verb (引述動詞) + somebody/something (某人/某事) + for + noun/gerund (名詞/動名詞)
＊applaud, blame, censure, criticize, disparage, fault, praise, ridicule, single out, thank
a. Smith criticized Jones for his use of incomplete data (OR for using incomplete data).
b. Both Smith and Jones condemned previous researchers for misrepresenting the data.
c. Lee acknowledged Thomas for his contribution to the discovery of X.
句型3：reporting verb (引述動詞) + somebody/something (某人/某事) + as + noun/gerund/adjective (名詞/動名詞形容詞)＊appraise, assess, characterize, class, classify, define, depict, describe, evaluate, identify, interpret, portray, present, refer, view
a. Jones described the findings as adding to the existing body of research.
b. Smith identified the Y as a source of information.
c. Smith and Jones both presented their results as conclusive.
