Foregrounding - Glossary

For some reason, I can’t find a post on this! I must have forgotten to do it!

But I made an addtition to the foregrounding post, so it’s useful for me to post anyway!

Nice article :>

I feel like in the first part the 3 common ways you talk about could use an example to make clear what is meant exactly, other than that the article seemed well structured to me :>

The only thing that also sorta keeps bothering me in the back of my mind is that I always associated glossaries with rather short 1-3 line summaries, so I’m not sure if this still qualifies as a glossary if one is being very nitpicky? :thinking:

Also kinda random but is interlocutor really a word that is frequently used irl? I’ve never heard/seen it outside of your website before so I had to look it up first lol

Apparently it still counts lol! I’ve seen some long academic glossaries! The ones in books are short, but the stand-alone ones can be as big as you want!

And yes haha. It’s a linguistic term!
