Example sentences for: name-based

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

  • (All name-based verbs given as examples in this article are included in the OED2 , the Oxford Dictionary of Modern Slang or the Longman Register of New Words unless otherwise stated.)

  • But few other name-based verbs seem to have such constraints, probably because English is such a relatively uninflected language, whereas many other languages have dozens or even hundreds of verb forms.

  • Perhaps it is precisely because our approach to the grammar of English is still in many ways based on Latin grammar that we do not have a specific grammatical term for name-based verbs, and it is time to give proper recognition to this feature.

  • Personal names probably constitute the largest category of name-based verbs.

  • Such considerations are also pertinent to name-based adjectives.
