Requoted

Requoted is a term in English that describes the act of quoting something again, either within the same text or in a subsequent source. The word can function as a verb (to requote) or as an adjective (requoted passages). The concept is closely related to requotation, nested quotation, and quotation repetition.

In editorial and publishing contexts, requoted passages are sometimes preserved verbatim and cited anew, either for emphasis, clarification, or to draw attention to a point in a different context. When a quotation is repeated, editors may indicate that the passage has been requoted to distinguish it from the initial citation and to note any contextual changes, such as a shift in speaker or audience. In journalism, requoting can occur when a quote appears again in a follow-up article or in another publication, with care taken to maintain attribution and accuracy.

Usage and style vary, and the term is less common than explicit phrases like “quoted again” or “reprint.” Some writers and editors prefer hyphenation (re-quoted) or simply restructuring the sentence to avoid ambiguity rather than labeling the quotation as requoted. In practice, the decision to requote often depends on editorial goals, clarity, and adherence to attribution standards.

Related terms include quotation, requotation, nested quotation, and attribution. While not universally standard, requoted remains a descriptive option for indicating repeated quotation within or across texts.
