2 | a quote from a secondary source |

a quote from a secondary source Explanation: I had never heard of the expression but マタ probably means 又. I assume it means the quote is taken not directly from a primary source but from another source where the said quote is quoted. If a book says "Mr. X said '....' ", and if you quote Mr.X from the book, then it is マタ引き. https://guides.library.harvard.edu/HistSciInfo/secondary -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-04-08 03:18:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The author may have mixed up with 孫引き(まごびき). https://kotobank.jp/word/孫引き-633975 The link below shows an example where 又引き is used where it should have been 孫引き. http://tondemonai2.blog114.fc2.com/blog-entry-473.html#more |
