Semantic factors Sample Clauses

Semantic factors. This section deals with the semantic influence of the verb and the interaction between the collective noun and the verb. There are a few verbs which seem to require plural agreement with collective nouns. In this kind of situation the speaker should decide if the focus of the collective noun is on the collective or on the members. According to Xxxxx (2001:131), decision-making bodies, such as association, commission, committee, company, council, department, government and party, almost exclusively take singular agreement in AmE, while the same nouns can occasionally take plural agreement in BrE. The nouns army, audience, band, club, crowd, group and population in general also preferred the singular in the corpora, but with some degree of variation in BrE. There are also specific verbs, such as contain, compromise, include or made up of that, if included in a sentence, make the focus of the collective as a whole, and not on the members. As seen in the following example, singular concord is in this case used:

The power factor range standards can be met using, for example without limitation, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors if agreed to by the Connecting Transmission Owner for the Transmission District to which the wind generating plant will be interconnected, or a combination of the two. The Developer shall not disable power factor equipment while the wind plant is in operation. Wind plants shall also be able to provide sufficient dynamic voltage support in lieu of the power system stabilizer and automatic voltage regulation at the generator excitation system if the System Reliability Impact Study shows this to be required for system safety or reliability.
