I'd like to add: the proper place to look for a definition is a
dictionary, rather than your hodgepodge of out-of-context quotes
and student writing guides.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines plagiarism as:
"the action or practice of plagiarizing; the wrongful appropriation
or purloining, and publication as one's own, of the ideas, or the
expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical,
etc.) of another."
(http://www.library.dal.ca/killam/instruct/plagiar.htm)
From the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
pla*giar*ize (BrE also -ise) /pledraz/ verb (disapproving) to copy
another person's ideas, words or work and pretend that they are your
own: [vn] He was accused of plagiarizing his colleague's results.
[also v]
pla*giar*ism /pledrzm/ noun [U, C] (disapproving) an act of
plagiarizing sth; sth that has been plagiarized: There were
accusations of plagiarism. a text full of plagiarisms
(http://www1.oup.co.uk/elt/oald/)
If you find an authoritative reference work claiming that an
unattributed quote, even when clearly marked as a quote, is
plagiarism, let me know.
