Lead In Devices (Pump-up verbs) When you need to refer to outside sources, information that is not known or original or attributed by or to you as an authority, you will need to use a line or block quote or paraphrasing. You will want to introduce these authorities (outside sources) with lead-in devices that have variety rather than the tired pattern of xyz says over and over again. This list is to help build your verb vocabulary. Never again use the stale: xyz says. Instead, determine tone (how your source delivers the information or how you have interpreted it for your argumentation or point) = your analysis (use) and discussion. Example: Freud assesses/ explores, observes, identifies, remarks How to Lead-in: In the words of XYZ “wwwwwwwwwwwwwww” (Jones 234). According to XYZ “wwwwwwwwwwwwwww” (Smith 77). Jones and Smith (Insert lead-in verb) “wwwwwwwwwwww” (Jones 475).
