Duplicate Language / Copy

An article in New York Times reported "Harvard Finds More Instances of ‘Duplicative Language’ in President’s Work"

Scratching head and wondered as to what is Duplicate Language?. 

On reading the article it stated that "Harvard University, in the face of mounting questions over possible plagiarism in the scholarly work of its president, Claudine Gay, said on Wednesday that it had found two additional instances of insufficient citation in her work.

The issues were found in Dr. Gay’s 1997 doctoral dissertation, in which Harvard said it had found two examples of “duplicative language without appropriate attribution.”.

Okay we ordinary people call it Copy.
Media calls it Plagiarism.
Harvard calls it Duplicate Language.

Duplicate language in layman's term is copy.
