Elaborations
- • Elaboration considering how nominalisation affects the way in which events are constructed and explained, making some information more explicit than other information
- • Elaboration analysing how logical relations between ideas are built up by combining independent with dependent clauses indicating cause, result, manner, concession, condition, and so on; for example, “Although the poet was not generally well received by critics during her life (concession), her reputation grew substantially after her death.”
- • Elaboration considering how abstraction in a noun group allows for greater generalisation of complex ideas in a sentence; for example, “He focused on the political, religious, social and economic elements of the society in his thesis.”
