Guide Numérique – Jaillir par étincelles numériques Academic Phrasebank – Referring to Sources One of the distinguishing features of academic writing is that it is informed by what is already known, what work has been done before, and/or what ideas and models have already been developed. Thus, in academic texts, writers frequently make reference to other studies and to the work of other authors. It is important that writers guide their readers through this literature. This section of Academic Phrasebank lists some of the phrases that writers may use for this purpose.A note on the literature review: It is the purpose of the literature review section of a paper or dissertation to show the reader, in a systematic way, what is already known about the research topic as a whole, and to outline the key ideas and theories that help us to understand this. As well as being systematic, the review should be evaluative and critical of the studies or ideas which are relevant to the current work. Research into X has a long history. X, Y and Z appear to be closely linked (Smith, 2008).
Ann Summers credits Fifty Shades trilogy for run on nipple clamps | Business Ann Summers, the sex store chain, said that the popularity of the Fifty Shades trilogy had led to soaring sales of nipple clamps and other sex toys at its shops. "Fifty Shades of Grey, like Sex and the City before it, has got women everywhere talking about sex and encouraged them to be more intimate, experimental and confident," said Jacqueline Gold, the chief executive. The company, which also organises Tupperware-style parties for women to buy lingerie and 'adult accessories', has seen sales of nipple clamps increase fifteenfold in the past year alongside double-digit increases in sex toy sales as shoppers buy into the lifestyle described in EL James's erotic novel. The book, whose tale of bondage and domination is credited for thrusting erotic literature into the mainstream, has sold 65m copies worldwide and topped bestseller lists. "Books of that kind have moved from the back of the bookshop into the window.

Academic Phrasebank – Describing Methods In the Methods section of a dissertation or research article, writers give an account of how they carried out their research. The Methods section should be clear and detailed enough for another experienced person to repeat the research and reproduce the results. Where the methods chosen are new, unfamiliar or perhaps even controversial, or where the intended audience is from many disciplines, the Methods section will tend to be much more extensive. Typical stretches of text found in this section of a research article or dissertation along with examples of the kind of language used for these are listed below. Note that for most of the functional categories in this section, the verbs are written in the simple past tense.

M&S Squeezed by U.K. Lingerie War as Grocers Sell Satin: Retail For Valentine’s Day, shoppers at British supermarkets are putting an extra something into their basket along with candy hearts: luxury lingerie. J Sainsbury Plc is selling a 22-pound ($35) satin underwear set in coral and cream as the third-biggest U.K. grocer goes upscale in unmentionables in an attack on Marks & Spencer Group Plc’s grip on Britain’s underwear drawers. Wal-Mart Stores International Plc’s Asda chain is adding wider ranges in bigger sizes alongside novelty pajamas and onesies. “Sainsbury has taken the upmarket route and Asda has clearly done a good job improving quality and perception,” said Bryan Roberts, an analyst at Kantar Retail, which provide retail analysis. Intimates have been synonymous with Marks & Spencer since the retailer first started offering them in the 1920s, so ceding ground makes a turnaround of the whole company more challenging.

GESTACLIC - Accueil Academic Phrasebank – Discussing Findings The term ‘discussion’ has a variety of meanings in English. In academic writing, however, it usually refers to two types of activity: a) considering both sides of an issue, or question before reaching a conclusion; b) considering the results of research and the implications of these. Discussion sections in dissertations and research articles are probably the most complex sections in terms of their elements. They normally centre around a ‘statement of result’ or an important ‘finding’. As there is usually more than one result, discussion sections are often structured into a series of discussion cycles. Background information: reference to literature or to research aim/question Statements of result: usually with reference to results section Unexpected outcome Surprisingly, X was found to …. Reference to previous research: support Reference to previous research: contrast This study has been unable to demonstrate that … However, this result has not previously been described. Noting implications
Do you always match your bra and knickers? Underwear habits revealed At the recent launch of Helena Christensen’s new lingerie collection for Triumph, the supermodel admitted that she doesn’t match her underwear. This is one of the most stylish women in the world, and one who has designed lingerie ranges no less, but she doesn’t feel the need to match knickers with bra. Or sock with sock, for that matter. ‘It would be great to have all my underwear washed at same time but it just never is,’ she told The Telegraph. ‘So I end up with mismatched everything, even socks.’ We can relate to that. But because it is something we have debated between ourselves, we know that it is an underwear issue that divides people. So that’s our starting point for this week’s look at UK women’s underwear buying habits. In our survey 19% of women answered ‘always!’ One of the most obvious things that stands out about the ‘always!’ And then there’s price. So then we looked at where they shop. Our first assumption would be no. But for some people it is. So you tell us.
