Paraphrase means: âto express the meaning of (something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.â.

Usage Note: The phrasal verbs talk about and (less commonly) talk of sometimes have a piece of writing as their subject, as in The article talks about the humanitarian crisis in the Sudan and The book talks of continuing barriers to free trade.
