Activities
- Sweep can also mean to move across or through swiftly or broadly: "News of the lunar landing swept the country". To pass quickly across, as when searching: His gaze swept the horizon. You are in a sense correct, it can mean "quick". (Found in Encyclopedia & Wikipedia) Hope this helps!0 votedFebruary 13, 20170
- A peculiar type of connection of sentences which for want of a term we shall call the gap-sentence link (GSL). The connection is not immediately apparent and it requires a certain mental effort to grasp the interrelation between the parts of the utterance, in other words, to bridge the semantic gap. Example: "She and that fellow ought to be the sufferers, and they were in Italy." In this sentence the second part, which is hooked on to the first by the conjunction and, seems to be unmotivated or, in other words, the whole sentence seems to be logically incoherent. But this is only the first impression. After a more careful supralinear semantic analysis it becomes clear that the exact logical variant of the utterance would be: 'Those who ought to suffer were enjoying themselves in Italy (where well-to-do English people go for holydays).'

- Definition: According to Duffy, Gangster, and Pagon, 2002, the definition of social undermining in a workplace is, behavior intended to hinder over time and not allowing a person to establish or maintain positive interpersonal relationships. Undermining in the workplace may happen due to insecurities felt by the offender. The offender may disparage the ideas of others in an attempt to make up for her/ his own lack a creativity, or it may stem from a desire to feel powerful.0 votedFebruary 13, 20171
