B The power of words

Writers may use words to express ideas or to convey a message¹ or to evoke² an atmosphere³. In scientific discourse⁴, if words are not used precisely, then it is hard for the reader to comprehend⁵ what the writer is trying to say. In literature, especially in poetry, the connotations⁶ that words have may be at least as important if not more important than what those words denote⁷. The reader has to infer⁸ the poet's meaning and this may involve a sensitivity to nuances of meaning⁹ and the ability to see things from the poet's perspective¹⁰.
¹ key idea (e.g. in a book or film) ² make someone feel something ³ feeling or mood ⁴ written or spoken text ⁵ understand ⁶ associations ⁷ mean ⁸ form an opinion on the basis of indirect evidence ⁹ small differences in meaning ¹⁰ point of view

Exercises

1 Dr Babayan is advising Tomoko, one of his students who is about to start writing up her dissertation. Complete their conversation with words from the input above.

Dr Babayan:	In the first chapter, you need a section where you d your d………………… your t……………….. .
Tomoko:	I'm sorry, what does that involve exactly?
Dr Babayan:	You explain your t………………, the special technical words or phrases you're going to use and what precise meaning they have so that your text is t…………….., and every reader knows exactly what you mean when you use a word or phrase.
Tomoko:	Does it have to be in the first chapter?
Dr Babayan:	Well, usually, yes, though an alternative way of doing it is to provide an alphabetical g……………. at the back of the dissertation where readers can look up the meaning. And remember, if you're using different s……………….. of the same word you must explain each one.
Tomoko:	That's my problem. I sometimes find it difficult to d …………………………. between the different meanings. There are so many s……………………… d…………………… between words and between the different meanings of the same words in English.
Dr Babayan:	Yes, I know, but all languages are like that; it's just that you don't notice it in your own language. Look, a dissertation is all about с……………….. your ideas in a clear, с…………….. manner. If you use words which are a…………………. your readers might m…………………….. your text. So it's always important to с…………….. what you intend to say.
Tomoko:	Hmm. Oh well, I'll try.
