用法
The verb author, which had been out of use for a long period, has been rejuvenated in recent years with the sense 「to assume responsibility for the content of a published text.」As such it is not quite synonymous with the verb write ; one can write, but not author, a love letter or an unpublished manuscript, and the writer who ghostwrites a book for a celebrity cannot be said to have 「authored」 the creation. The sentence He has authored a dozen books on the subject was unacceptable to 74 percent of the Usage Panel, probably because it implies that the fact of having a book published is worthy of special lexical distinction, a notion that sits poorly with conventional literary sensibilities, and which seems to smack of press agentry. The sentence The Senator authored a bill limiting uses of desert lands in California was similarly rejected by 64 percent of the Panel, though here the usage is common journalistic practice, and is perhaps justified by the observation that we do not expect that legislators will actually write the bills to which they attach their names. · The verb coauthor is well established in reference to scientific and scholarly publications, where it serves a useful purpose, since the people listed as authors of such works routinely include research collaborators who have played no part in the actual writing of the text, but who are nonetheless entitled to credit for the published results.
動詞author， 很長一段時間不再使用， 近年來又以「對某一出版作品的內容負有責任」的含義重新起用。因此，它已不完全同動詞write 同義； 一個人可以寫一封求愛信或未出版的草稿，但不是作者，某一人即使僱人寫出一篇傑作也不能說是「創作」了作品。對句子他已就這個論題創作了十二部作品 74%的用法專題小組不能接受， 可能因為它暗示著一個事實，即一本已出版的書一定有特別的詞彙意義上區別的價值，這是與傳統文學觀念不太相容的概念，並帶有出版機構的意味。此句參議員提出了一個限制使用加利福尼亞地區沙漠土地的議案 ，同樣有64%的用法專題小組成員不能接受， 雖然這裡這種用法是新聞界實踐的慣用。這恐怕是因為我們並不希望立法人員真的是寫作一項議案然後在其上署上他們的名字吧。·動詞coauthor 是在科學及學術發表論文的意義上建立的， 這裡這個詞的使用有一個重要意義，因為創作者名單上列出作為這部作品創作者的人通常包括共同研究人員，既使他們實際上並未參加寫作，但不可否認地對出版物的結果做出了貢獻
