the first-ever case of published agreement about the analysis of the
German Vorfeld should turn out to be a case of plagiarism? And how oddly
ironic that the person who maintains the HPSG bibliographies should be
the victim ...<br>
<br>
More seriously, I have added my voice to the chorus of <span>disapproval
on ResearchGate. But it seems that forcing the removal of a plagiarized
work from an online</span> site does not really go far enough in a case
like this. I'm not sure exactly what the appropriate mechanism would
be, but at the very least any direct correspondence between the author
and (suspected) plagiarist should be cc'd to individuals in positions of
administrative authority within their respective institutions.<br>

thank you for making the case public - it truly seems to be a striking
case of plagiarism. I had a look at the beginning of the paper (one of
the few parts not copied from your work - and so far everything I
checked also was copied from other sources!
The first sentence is an almost verbatim copy from Jokinen's 2005
dissertation, cf. p. 13 of
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tampub.uta.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/67550/951-44-6453-2.pdf?sequence=1">http://tampub.uta.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/67550/951-44-6453-2.pdf?sequence=1</a>
The next sentences "Aus DaZ-didaktischer Perspektive gelten
... bewältigt werden." is taken from Beate Lütke's article:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://books.google.de/books?id=YXHYAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA33&ots=iPlNlH6SWO&dq=%22DaZ-didaktischer%20Perspektive%20gelten%22%20pr%C3%A4positionale%20Verbindungen%20im%20ungesteuerten%20Kontext%20als%20schwer%20zu%20erwerbende%20Strukturen%22&hl=de&pg=PA33#v=onepage&q=%22DaZ-didaktischer%20Perspektive%20gelten%22%20pr%C3%A4positionale%20Verbindungen%20im%20ungesteuerten%20Kontext%20als%20schwer%20zu%20erwerbende%20Strukturen%22&f=false">http://books.google.de/books?id=YXHYAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA33&ots=iPlNlH6SWO&dq=%22DaZ-didaktischer%20Perspektive%20gelten%22%20pr%C3%A4positionale%20Verbindungen%20im%20ungesteuerten%20Kontext%20als%20schwer%20zu%20erwerbende%20Strukturen%22&hl=de&pg=PA33#v=onepage&q=%22DaZ-didaktischer%20Perspektive%20gelten%22%20pr%C3%A4positionale%20Verbindungen%20im%20ungesteuerten%20Kontext%20als%20schwer%20zu%20erwerbende%20Strukturen%22&f=false</a>
The next part about kognitivistische Modelle is again copied, from another
publication of Beate Lütke:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://books.google.de/books?id=cmXJqJ9UbFoC&lpg=PA95&ots=onWTl5rM0L&dq=%22L2-Aneignungsprozess%20%C3%BCber%20eine%20Prozessfolge%20verlaufe%22&hl=de&pg=PA95#v=onepage&q=%22L2-Aneignungsprozess%20%C3%BCber%20eine%20Prozessfolge%20verlaufe%22&f=false">http://books.google.de/books?id=cmXJqJ9UbFoC&lpg=PA95&ots=onWTl5rM0L&dq=%22L2-Aneignungsprozess%20%C3%BCber%20eine%20Prozessfolge%20verlaufe%22&hl=de&pg=PA95#v=onepage&q=%22L2-Aneignungsprozess%20%C3%BCber%20eine%20Prozessfolge%20verlaufe%22&f=false</a>
Unbelievable.
All the best,
Detmar
