Labels: uncountable Example: Thus, career ladders existed in the industry as a whole, not in the Royal Court itself, which contributed to a sense of lateralism rather than hierarchy in the hotel. Lateralism was also reflected in the Royal Court's minimal specialization, largely because of its size. Example: The appropriate organisational structure would be open with a preponderance for lateralism. 2. A scheme for how nations work together or compete, such as multilateralism, bilateralism, unilateralism, etc. Labels: countable Example: One simple distinction commonly made among the lateralisms is the number of parties involved in the transaction. Example: While I should like to believe this— especially now that US commitment to multilateralism is diluted by other "lateralisms" (Summers, 1991)-- more needs to be done before it can be considered proven beyond reasonable doubt. 3. Dominance or specialization by one side of the body; lateralization. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Tonnini has found also that there is a difference of temperature in the two sides of the body, and of sensibility in them, so that one of the salient characters of moral insanity was lateralism, or, so to speak, sensory left-handedness, that is, more sensibility on one side than on the other, and signally so on the left ; the same fact obtained with regard to motility. Example: Blau gives a list of some 40 tests by which handedness or " preferred lateralism " may be determined. 4. Lateral thinking; the process of approaching a subject from multiple sides, or an instance of this process.

Word: lateralist Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From lateral + -ist. 1. Characteristic of lateralism; pertaining to the interactions of opposing interests of equal power. Example: If 'left-winger' and 'right-winger' are terms of opprobrium moreover, the journalists can help their chosen cause by invoking lateralist terms to characterise, in the guise of simply describing, one of the parties in a dispute. This implies that the other party is 'centrist' or 'moderate' or 'non-extremist.' Example: A chief criticism levelled against American "lateralist" and "polar" theorists is precisely the accusation that they are attempting to avoid the issue of the development of relations between the two socio-economic systems, i.e., the essentially bipolar politico-strategic structure of postwar international relations. 2. Favoring a lateral approach or explanation over one that involves a different direction, such as a vertical one. Example: ...but as far as African bedded deposits are concerned I think that the prospector following either the “ lateralist " or " profundist " advice will waste much time and money unless he is also guided by a study of possible sources of the ore he seeks, and of the probable itenerary of the solutions to which such ore owes its present position. Example: Should the scientist be monological or multilogical? Should the scientist be reductionist or holist? Should the scientist be inductivist or deductivist: lateralist or verticalist?
Word: lateralist Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From lateral + -ist. 1. One who engages in lateral thinking. Example: The correlator is a lateralist capable of making one to one correspondences between the vertical sciences and the horizontal arts. Example: One and one make two, the literalist said. So far they've made five billion, said the lateralist. Or ten if you count all the dead. 2. One who favors a lateral approach or explanation over one that involves a different direction. Example: Harris was not, however, as we have already said, to walk the course, for the lateralists and attractists, took the field against him, and for a while divided the opinions of those interested in the matter. The lateral-explosionists were demolished by Messrs. Faraday and Wheatstone, who distinctly disavowed any knowledge of a side discharge which was not a diversion or division of the primary current, where the conductor was not of sufficient capacity of conduction, and that liabilities to such diversion would decrease in proportion to the goodness of the conductor: but the attactists contemned the whole race of lightning conductors stock-and-fluke, although their efficacy might be considered to have been established beyond all doubt by the experience of eighty years, and the unanimous opinions of the scientific in all countries. . Example: It can not be on that of numbers, as there will be such an overwhelming majority of diagonalities that the lateralists will be in a '"hopeless minority," hundreds against thousands when the computation is made. 3. One who favors lateralism. Example: It was at this meeting, after all, that many of us discovered for the first time that we were global unilateralists, global multilateralists, non-global unilateralists or multilateralists, to say nothing of lateralists of various persuasions and intensities. Example: Going lateral was another movement that began on the Internet. The lateralists worked out that they could actually live way better by detaching themselves from the economic systems of derivatives, leverage, optionality, and toxic assets. In just months, the lateralists' ranks swelled from thousands to millions to hundreds of millions.
