Abstract
Plagiarism and collusion among students may be facilitated by the preponderance of material in electronic format and the ability to submit coursework online. A distinction has generally been drawn between plagiarism of text and plagiarism of source code, and different tools and metrics have been developed for either type. However, if a computer programming language is considered to be similar to a natural language (although it has a restricted syntax and vocabulary), computer-assisted text analysis techniques may be employed to assist the academic in detecting plagiarism in source code. So computational linguistics might inform software metrics, and vice versa.
