text: Surprisingly, this analysis revealed that acute exposure to solvent vapors at concentrations below those associated with long-term effects appears to increase the risk of a fatal automobile accident. Furthermore, this increase in risk is comparable to the risk of death from leukemia after long-term exposure to benzene, another solvent, which has the well-known property of causing this type of cancer.

text: Beeching is more disparaging about suburban services beyond the capital, and I think here lies one of the most critical shortcomings in his analysis. By not considering the potential for these cities to grow, both on their own merits and in response to London's limitations, he failed to future-proof these types of service, limiting them in favour of long-distance services.
ref: 2023 March 8, Gareth Dennis, “The Reshaping of things to come...”, in RAIL, number 978, page 48:
glosses: Decomposition into components in order to study (a complex thing, concept, theory, etc.).
examples: text: Thus, in a sequence such as [French English teacher], since English is closer to
 the Head Noun teacher, it must be a Complement; and since French is further
 away from teacher, it must be an Attribute. Hence, we correctly predict that
 the only possible interpretation for [a French English teacher] is ‘a person who
 teaches English who is Frenchʼ. So our analysis not only has semantic plausi-
 bility; but in addition it has independent syntactic support.

glosses: The result of such a process.

examples: text: The "Homosexuals" chapter gets off to a brisk start with a declaration from a man identified as "Nick August" ― a "self-proclaimed homosexual" ― that "homosexuals are men who are so terrified of their sexual feelings for their mothers, that they have spent their whole lives proving they don't have any feelings at all for women." We are not surprised to learn, later on, that he is in analysis; may I suggest that his analyst is a very old-fashioned one?
