Julie Charlip uses many signal phrases to help her refer to the views of others and distinguish her own views. One of the phrases she uses is "X and Y wrote:". She also incorporates phrases like "I once asked X and X said". When Charlip wants to express her view she will start the sentence off with "I". The way she sets up her sentences allows her to introduce someones views, and then she can agree or disagree with the other person's view. The way she sets up her sentences also make her agreement seem more creditable because she brings in expert opinions. It shows that she has done her research.
