peer agreement (net): +3
peer agreement (net): +3a study of that is "susceptible to the attitudes, feelings, or circumstances of others; " Explanation: defintion from : The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved., © 2006 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Based on the context, I would say that the author believes that the functions of music deserve more intensive (in view of the above definition of "sensitive"). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-01 10:52:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction: insert "study" above after "intensive" ;) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-01 10:56:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Examples: culturally sensitive socially sensitive Thus, the study is sensitive to these factors; the study acknowledges these factors -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-01 11:10:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, the study (should) acknowledge that "music functions as a means of personal and ......and embodies the social and cultural values of individuals and communities." Target term should not read "a study of" but should be "a study that is" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day23 mins (2008-04-02 08:52:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In my view of the sentence you have provided, it can be estimated that the author seeks sensitive/critical/intensive/thorough exploration of the effects of music. hth -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day35 mins (2008-04-02 09:04:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is a great link dealing with similar issues in your sentence, only with reference to rock music's effects: Keywords: critical analysis, community, cultural initiatives, http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABASES/TRA/Pleasure_a... "Rock & Roll Confidential promotes Marsh's agenda as rock criticism's foremost populist, a true believer in the maxim that the music can set you free and consumers of rock constitute a community which, while not homogeneous, shares common values and desires. Rock & Roll Confidential editorializes fervently against any repression or censorship of that community's interests, including the PMRC's attempts to censor free expression through stickering albums or the record labels' limitation of consumers' free access to recorded material through legislation against home-taping." |
