6 Main Ways of Paraphrasing
🔹 Main Ways of Paraphrasing
1. Using Synonyms (Lexical Paraphrasing)
Replace words or phrases with their synonyms without changing the meaning.
-
Original: Global warming is caused by excessive carbon emissions.
-
Paraphrase: Global warming results from an overabundance of carbon emissions.
✅ Good: Maintains meaning and changes wording appropriately.
❌ Bad: Global warming is caused by too much carbon — (too informal and less academic).
2. Changing the Sentence Structure (Syntactic Paraphrasing)
Alter the grammatical form of the sentence while keeping its meaning.
-
Original: Scientists have discovered that pollution affects marine life.
-
Paraphrase: It has been found by scientists that marine life is affected by pollution.
✅ Good: Same meaning, passive voice used correctly.
❌ Bad: Pollution is discovered by scientists to affect marine life — (awkward and unclear).
7 ways to paraphrase sentences and paragraphs effectively
There are several ways to paraphrase sentences and paragraphs effectively. Common methods include:
- Using synonyms to replace words while maintaining meaning.
- Changing sentence structure or word order.
- Switching between active and passive voice.
- Breaking long sentences into shorter ones or combining short sentences.
- Replacing idiomatic expressions or phrasal verbs with simpler or alternative phrases.
- Changing parts of speech (e.g., converting a noun into a verb).
- Using a different tone or level of formality.
Original: "Technology is changing the way we communicate."
Good Paraphrase: "The way people communicate is being transformed by technology."
Explanation: Sentence structure is flipped, passive voice is used, but the meaning is preserved.
Original: "Regular exercise helps improve mental health."
Good Paraphrase: "Staying active can boost your mood and support mental well-being."
Explanation: Synonyms replace keywords, and the sentence is made more conversational without changing the meaning.
Examples of Bad Paraphrasing:
Simply changing a few words but keeping the original sentence structure too close, for example:
Original: "Global warming is caused by excessive carbon emissions."
Bad Paraphrase: "Global warming happens because of too much carbon emissions."
Pro dan Kontra Industri dan Wisata Halal di Indonesia
Fenomena pengembangan wisata dan industri halal di Indonesia memunculkan berbagai wacana pro dan kontra yang menarik untuk dianalisis secara kritis. Melalui pendekatan Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) sebagaimana dikembangkan oleh Fairclough (1995), peneliti dapat menelaah bagaimana ideologi, kepentingan ekonomi, dan nilai keagamaan dikonstruksi dalam teks dan praktik sosial. Misalnya, penelitian mengenai Analisis Wacana Kritis atas Narasi Pro dan Kontra Wisata Halal di Media Lokal Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa media lokal sering menekankan manfaat ekonomi wisata halal, sementara pihak yang kontra memandangnya sebagai bentuk komodifikasi agama dan ancaman terhadap budaya lokal (Fairclough, 1995; van Dijk, 1998). Sejalan dengan itu, studi Komodifikasi Islam dalam Industri Wisata Halal mengungkap bahwa penggunaan label “halal” kerap menjadi strategi pemasaran simbolik tanpa implementasi nilai syariah yang mendalam, sehingga muncul kritik atas hilangnya esensi religius dalam praktik industri (Kitiarsa, 2008).
Dalam konteks kebijakan, wacana yang dihasilkan pemerintah juga tidak lepas dari dilema antara pelayanan umat dan kepentingan ekonomi global. Analisis terhadap Narasi Pemerintah dan Kebijakan dalam Industri Halal menemukan adanya dominasi diskursus ekonomi dan diplomasi pasar, dengan kurangnya penekanan pada etika Islam (Hassan & Lewis, 2014). Sebaliknya, studi berbasis budaya seperti Wacana Kritik atas Wisata Halal dalam Perspektif Kebudayaan Lokal menyoroti ketegangan antara pelestarian budaya daerah dan penerapan norma-norma syariah yang datang dari luar komunitas (Picard, 2015).
Selain itu, perbedaan persepsi antara wisatawan Muslim dan non-Muslim terhadap label halal menjadi wacana tersendiri. Analisis terhadap diskursus daring menunjukkan bahwa wisatawan Muslim melihat label halal sebagai jaminan spiritual, sedangkan non-Muslim menganggapnya sekadar strategi layanan tambahan (Battour & Ismail, 2016). Penelitian lain, Bisnis atau Dakwah? Kontroversi Identitas Halal dalam Industri Perhotelan, mengungkap bahwa sebagian besar hotel berlabel halal hanya mengadopsi sebagian nilai syariah tanpa penerapan menyeluruh, sehingga terjadi bentuk hybrid identity (Stephenson, 2014).
