Глоссарий по учебной дисциплине

A commonplace book is a record of things we have read or heard and want to remember: a proverb, a remark by a writer of unusual sensibility, a witty or a wise saying, or even something silly or foolish or crass.

A journal is a day-to-day record of what you see, hear, do, think, and feel. A journal collects your own experiences and thoughts rather than quotations.

Subject refers to the main focus of a composition; topic to specific aspects of the subject.

Free writing simply means getting ideas on paper as fast as you can. The trick is to let feelings and ideas pour forth. (Jot down anything that occurs to you, without worrying about order or even making much sense.)

The Statement of Purpose is a paragraph or two broadly describing what you want to say, how you’re going to organize it, what you want readers to understand, feel, believe.

An outline is a way of dividing a subject into its major parts, of dividing these in turn into subparts, and so on, into finer and finer detail. There are formal outlines, which are usually turned in with a composition and even serve as compositions in their own right. And there are informal outlines, often called “working” or “scratch” outlines.

A draft is an early version of a piece of writing.

An essay is a relatively short composition. It does not claim scholarly thoroughness (that belongs to the monograph), but it does exhibit great variety.

In a personal point of view you play the role of writer openly, using “I,” “me,” “my.” An impersonal point of view, on the other hand, requires that you avoid all explicit reference to yourself.

Persona, as a term in composition, means the writer's presence in the writing.

Authenticity means that the personality readers sense in your words is the personality you want them to perceive.

Tone is a web of feelings stretched throughout an essay, feelings from which our sense of the persona emerges. Tone has three main strands: the writer's attitude toward subject, reader, and self.

Expository paragraphs deal with facts, ideas, beliefs. They explain, analyze, define, compare, illustrate. They answer questions like What? Why? How? What was the cause? The effect? Like what? Unlike what?

A paragraph is a group of sentences developing a common idea, called the topic.

The subject is more complicated and needs to be expressed in a clause or sentence, called the topic statement, which is usually placed at or near the beginning.

Paragraph unity involves two related but distinct concepts: coherence and flow: Coherence means that the ideas fit together. Flow means that the sentences link up so that readers are not conscious of gaps. Flow is a matter of style and exists in specific words and grammatical patterns tying one sentence to another. Coherence belongs to the substructure of the paragraph, to relationships of thought, feeling, and perception. Both are necessary if a paragraph is to be truly unified.

Analogy is a special kind of comparison in which a subject of secondary importance and often of a quite different nature is introduced to clarify or justify some aspect of the main subject. Comparison treats two subjects of the same nature, as does contrast; but the former shows how the subjects are alike, while the latter focuses on how they differ. But despite this difference, comparison and contrast work in the same way, and we consider them together, putting off analogy until the end of the chapter.

Heroism, for instance, is most easily explained by illustrating heroic (and perhaps non-heroic) actions.

A process is a sequence of operations directed toward a specific end.

It is often necessary to admit that what you are asserting is not absolutely true or always applicable - Doing so is called qualification. Qualification always risks blurring your focus.

Grammatical independence means that the words constituting the sentence are not acting as a noun or modifier or verb in connection with any other word or words.

A phrase is a functional word group that does not contain a subject-finite verb combination, although some phrases do use nonfinite verb forms.

A verb phrase is a main verb plus any auxiliaries.

The chief function of prepositional phrases is to modify, either as adjectives or as adverbs.

A clause is a functional word group that does contain a subject and a finite verb.

An absolute is something more than a functional word group but less than a sentence. It is connected by idea but not through grammar to the rest of the statement in which it occurs.

Parallelism means that two or more words or constructions stand in an identical grammatical relationship to the same thing.

Clarity means that it says to the reader what the writer intended to say.

Concision is brevity relative to purpose. It is not to be confused with absolute brevity. A sentence of seven words is brief; but if the idea can be conveyed with equal clarity in five, the sentence is not concise.

An ellipsis (plural, ellipses) is the omission of words implied by the grammar but not necessary to complete the sense.

Parallelism means that two or more words, phrases, or clauses are grammatically related in the same way to the same thing.

An announcement (in the sense it has here) is a preliminary statement which tells the reader: “Watch out, here comes something important”

A fragment is a construction which, like a sentence, begins with a capital and ends with full-stop punctuation, but which does not satisfy the traditional definition of a sentence.

At its simplest the imperative sentence is a command.

Inversion means putting the main elements of a sentence in an order other than subject-verb-object.

Rhythm is an inevitable aspect of prose, though rarely as regular or as obvious as in poetry.

In a strict sense, repetition is a matter more of diction than of sentence structure.

Abstract words signify things that cannot be directly perceived: honor, for instance, is an abstract word, as are generosity or idea or democracyю

Ambiguity means that a word can be read in either of two ways and the context does not make clear which way is intended.

The connotation of a word is its fringe or associated meanings, including implications of approval or disapproval.

A barbarism is either a nonexistent word or an existing one used ungrammatically.

Colloquialisms are expressions appropriate to informal, conversational occasions.

Pretentiousness is using big words to no purpose (except perhaps to show off). It results in long-winded, wooden sentences filled with deadwood.

Verbal profundity is the fallacy that words which look impressive must mean a lot.

A narrative is a meaningful sequence of events told in words.

A rhetorical question is a variety of direct question and must be closed by a question mark, no matter whether the writer intends to answer it – or to receive an answer – or not.

A citation term is a word used to refer to itself rather than to the object or concept or feeling it conventionally designates.
