Machine generated contents note: -- Introduction -- 1. Adjectival Clichés: Clichés that modify nouns or serve as predicates after linking verbs -- 2. Adverbial Clichés: Clichés that function as adverbials, describing how, when, with what, in what manner, etc. -- 3. People, Places, and Things: Clichés that function as noun phrases -- 4. Framing Devices: Clichés used to introduce, contextualize, or conclude questions or statements -- 5. Modifier Abuse: Clichés arising from extremely frequent and/or inapt collocation of particular adjectives with nouns, or of submodifying adverbs with adjectives -- 6. Predicate Clichés: Clichés beginning with a finite verb that serve as complete predicates -- 7. Quantification: Clichés that characterize quantities -- 8. Situational Clichés: Clichés consisting of complete sentences that characterize a situation or action -- 9.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Careful writers and speakers agree that clichés are generally to be avoided. However, nearly all of us continue to use them. Why do they persist in our language? In It's Been Said Before, lexicographer Orin Hargraves examines the peculiar idea and power of the cliché. He helps readers understand why certain phrases became clichés and why they should be avoided -- or why they still have life left in them. Indeed, clichés can be useful -- even powerful. And few people even agree on which expressions are clichés and which are not. Many regard any frequent idiom as a cliché, and a phrase regarded as a cliché in one context may be seen simply as an effective expression in another. Examples drawn from data about actual usage support Hargraves' identification of true clichés. They also illuminate his commentary on usage problems and helpful suggestions for eliminating clichés where they serve no useful purpose. Concise and lively, It's Been Said Before serves as a guide to the most overused phrases in the English language -- and to phrases that are used exactly as often as they should be"-- |
"This book provides a concise and lively guide to the most abused phrases in the English language today"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Today, a generational change is taking place in the fluoropolymer industry. The pioneers of PTFE developed an astonishing mass of basic and applied technical work. Now many of these experts are retiring and a new generation is taking their place. This new generation brings a plethora of skills, built upon the basic knowledge of fluoropolymer technology. Speaking to the needs of today's engineering and science students and practicing professionals, this book provides an in-depth treatment of homofluoropolymer polymerization and part fabrication technology. A comprehensive range of issue |
