The former is capable — when speaking to a co-linguist — of conveying almost a photographic image of an area of bush so extensive is his knowledge of the names of vegetation and descriptions of terrain.
The city of Boston also employs some co-ethnic and co-linguist liaison officers in the city's Office of Neighborhood Services, including people who can speak Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish and Cape Verdean Creole.
However, in the context of both Afghanistan and the civil war, the fact that most identifiable Afghan groups have co-linguists, co-ethnics, or co-religionists across national boundaries became a catalyst for the nation's collapse
If citizens cannot understand one another, or if they seek to deliberate with co-linguists only, then democratic politics is likely to be compromised.

Inflected forms:

pos: adj

Senses:
gloss: Lacking perspective; Overly focused on one aspect.
pos: adj
examples: But few of those who see that incongruity, know that it was dictated by the narrow-sighted frugality of the common council who were its building committee, and who determined that it would be useless to waste margle on the rear of the City-Hall, "since that side would only be seen by persons living in the suburbs."
Presumably in such an approach it is not important to attempt to minimise the costs of “narrow-sighted rationalisation' and irrelevant or impossible to monitor the performance of a state investment company.
Those involved in producing food and fiber in the United States simply cannot withstand another round of narrow-sighted budget negotiations which leaves them in an even more financially precarious position.
And if I were capable of that narrow-sighted joy on Adam's behalf, I should still know he was not the man to feel it for himself: he would have shaken his head at such a sentiment, and said, “ Evil's evil, and sorrow's sorrow, and you can't alter its nature by wrapping it up in other words."
In this perspective, chasing the truth about what category creates most jobs internally is narrow-sighted.
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but industry analysts surmise that one key factor in Crumbs's initial success was also the reason for its fall from glory: a narrow-sighted focus on the sale of a single product—those cupcakes.

In this they both succeeded ; and the brother turned out to be an excellent seal-hunter besides.
What people know about their climate is also influenced by the cultures of meaning into which they are born (what an Inuit seal-hunter knows about climate will be different to what a Chinese city-dweller knows) and by the cultures of knowledge practice through which they become disciplined (a climatologist knows climate differently to an anthropologist).

pos: noun
examples: At the first sound, Swertha fell into an agreeable dream of a young whale-fisher, who some forty years before used to make such a signal beneath the window of her hut; at the second, she waked to remember that Johnnie Fea had slept sound among the frozen waves of Greenland for this many a year, and that she was Mr. Mertoun's governante at Jarlshof; at the third, she arose and oened the window.
The larger the game the more keen the excitement ; and no elephant-hunter's eagerness ever surpasses the zest of the whale-fisher when once started in pursuit of the prey.
The whale-fishers approach the whale in boats, and attack it by harpoons to which lines are affixed, following up and repeating the attack, until its strength is exhausted, taking advantage of the necessity which it experiences of coming at intervals to the surface to breathe, and finally killing it with lances, which are thrust into the most vital parts.

It need not be a non-operational, merely 'boo-hooray' expression.
It hardly needs to be said that the results of this method are frustratingly dissatisfying, for the words tend to occur in speech and writing as mere boo-hooray words.
Old fashioned 'boo-hooray' forms of expressivism tell us nothing about utterances in which normative predicates are used in unasserted contexts, such as 'If lying is wrong then getting little brother to lie is wrong'.
For rather than being 'thinly' emotive in the simplistic 'stimulus-respopnse' sense that would complement the 'thinly' emotive or 'boo-hooray' interpretation of the original ET which its critics based their criticisms upon, this theory...

examples: The decisive factor in the origins of Colonial painting in Peru came a few years later from late Italian Mannerism and Counter-Mannerism.
Nevertheless the artists did not create in "Counter-Mannerism" a wholly new stvle in the way that Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci were to do in the last decade of the century; it seems that, once trained in Mannerism, they could never entirely lose that touch of elegance and that beguiling preciosity which are still very evident in Barocci 's Deposition.
Domenico Cresti (or Crespi), known as “il Passignano” (from the name of the district of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, near Florence, where he was born, 1559–1638), was a painter of the late-Renaissance or Counter-Mannerism style; he was educated by the Vallombrosan monks.

Tens of thousands of low-skilled migrants could come to the UK to work for up to a year under proposed new post-Brexit immigration rules. The measure, which would last until 2025, is intended to protect parts of the economy reliant on overseas labour.
Theresa May's government consistently rejected proposals and amendments to the 2018 Withdrawal Act to maintain current rights and protections post-Brexit. She appeared content to see the back of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, a huge loss which would mean less power to protect rights for women, and also to do away with the 2006 and 2010 Equalities Acts.
Member states, MEPs and the new EU commission are all gearing up to launch a discussion on the future of post-Brexit Europe early next year.
