New American Oxford Dictionary

sentence

sen tence |ˈsentns ˈsɛn (t )əns | ▶noun 1 a set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses. • Logic a series of signs or symbols expressing a proposition in an artificial or logical language. 2 the punishment assigned to a defendant found guilty by a court, or fixed by law for a particular offense: her husband is serving a three-year sentence for fraud | slander of an official carried an eight-year prison sentence. ▶verb [ with obj. ] declare the punishment decided for (an offender ): ten army officers were sentenced to death. PHRASES under sentence of having been condemned to: he was under sentence of death. ORIGIN Middle English (in the senses ‘way of thinking, opinion, ’ ‘court's declaration of punishment, ’ and ‘gist (of a piece of writing )’): via Old French from Latin sententia ‘opinion, ’ from sentire ‘feel, be of the opinion. ’

 

sentence adverb

sen tence ad verb |ˈsɛntns | ▶noun Grammar an adverb or adverbial phrase that expresses a writer's or speaker's attitude to the content of the sentence in which it occurs (such as frankly, obviously ), or places the sentence in a particular context (such as technically, politically ). usage: The traditional definition of an adverb is that it is a word that modifies the meaning of a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, as in, for example, he shook his head sadly . However, another important function of some adverbs is to comment on a whole sentence. For example, in the sentence sadly, he is rather overbearing, sadly expresses the speaker's attitude to what is being stated. Traditionalists take the view that the use of sentence adverbs is inherently suspect and that they should always be paraphrased, using wording such as it is sad that he is rather overbearing. A particular objection is raised to the sentence adverbs hopefully and thankfully, since they cannot be paraphrased in the usual way (see usage at hopefully and thankfully ). However, there is overwhelming evidence that such usages are well established and widely accepted in everyday speech and writing.

sen |tence ad ¦verb ▶noun Grammar an adverb or adverbial phrase that expresses a writer's or speaker's attitude to the content of the sentence in which it occurs (such as frankly, obviously ), or places the sentence in a particular context (such as technically, politically ). usage: The traditional definition of an adverb is that it is a word that modifies the meaning of a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, as in, for example, he shook his head sadly . However, another important function of some adverbs is to comment on a whole sentence, either expressing the speaker's attitude or classifying the discourse. For example, in sadly, he is rather overbearing, sadly does not mean that he is overbearing in a sad manner: it expresses the speaker's attitude to what is being stated. Traditionalists take the view that the use of sentence adverbs is inherently suspect and that they should always be paraphrased, e.g. using such wording as it is sad that he is rather overbearing.
