Example sentences for: gove

How can you use “gove” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Language appropriate to level: a basic ability to read and write, followed by the capacity to handle abstract usage, and, at a higher level, to be at ease with what Philip Gove in Webster's Third called ISV, `international scientific vocabulary.

  • Gove did not participate in the planning or appear on the program, although two of his colleagues gave papers, Woolf on defining and Artin on pronunciation.

  • The biggest was that Gove had gone his merry way in producing what he considered to be a lexicon of the language but with little thought for those who were to use it: no one could call the MWIII “user-friendly” (certainly not in 1961, when, as far as I know, the expression had not yet gained currency):

  • If sobersidedness make not an attractive man, it certainly need not have affected Gove's proficiencies as a lexicographer.

  • Several philosophies of defining prevail—not too abstruse to go into in VERBATIM, but a not entirely appropriate aside here—and the style cleaved to by Gove attempts an approach that is progressively restrictive or expansive, depending on the nature of the word defined.
