Greek terminology such as pathos, ethos, logos, etcetera is often used in the broad scope of the humanities. We could view the classification of major types of plagiarism in a similar taxonomy as follows:
Theo-sauros. (aka T-sauros Rex). This technique involves substituting a variety of words from the original source in order to disguise the original phrasing. The Theo-sauros will do this to make the content appear original and more godly or royal. Thus, phrases such as "common sense" will be changed to "ordinary feeling" or "communal sagacity." of course, someone using "basic intelligence" would recognize that changing so many words and phrases will end up distorting the overall coherence of the writing.
Pseudopigios. This technique aims to lend credibility to the writer's own unsubstantiated beliefs or opinions. (This dates back to the ancient practice of pseudepigrapha when people would try to pass off their personal views as coming from Noah, Abraham, and even Adam and Eve themselves.) Thepseudopigio will make up credible sounding sources, usually bogus websites or non-existent online issues of accepted sources like Scientific American, which would not have page numbers for cross referencing.
Downloadios. This technique involves the use of websites that sell or exchange fully written papers on a wide range of topics. The websites have a disclaimer that the paper is for review only, but when students are paying as much as $10 per page, chances are that the "review tool" ends up being the actual paper. Often the Theo-saurus will use this technique as a starting point.
Spectato or Spectreios. Sometimes Anglicized as "ghost writing," this technique is an offshoot of the previous technique, but done under contract or by request. Sometimes this is disguised as "peer editing" when the writer asks for help with a rough draft, outline, or paper topic and the other person produces the bulk of the final content.
Cuspidios. In this technique, the writer merely expectorates content directly from lecture notes or class discussion, sometimes even from the same class the paper is written for. Usually the original notes are not taken clearly, so the content may be a bit garbled as the writer merely repeats what has been heard as if it were his or her original thinking.
Oblivio. This particular practice often includes one or more of the methods mentioned above without the practitioners recognizing that they are violating standards of academic integrity. Such people often have been doing this as a matter of habit or they are so used to seeing those around them plagiarize that the practices seem like "normal" behavior.
Insidios. In this technique, the writer deliberately restructures sentences, reverses the order of list points or details or even cites a small portion of the original source as a means of deliberately presenting the source commentary, insight, and/or conclusions as his/her own original thinking.
