Inchoate:Reasearc on our Word!
While researching my word inchoate through GSU library website there were books that came up with either that word used. Or in other words the books came up that pertain to that word or had keyword relevance. Inchoate can be used more then one way. It can be used as either a noun or a verb. I learned that inchoate means; just begun, incipient; in an initial or early stage; hence elementary, imperfect, undeveloped, and immature. (Oxford English Dictionary) That’s the definition of the word used as a noun form. The word also can be used in a sentence such as this: The position I have ventured to maintain..as to the inchoate, imperfect, and transitional work of John.(Oxford English Dictionary) Inchoate used as a verb is said , To begin, commence, initiate, take the first steps in. (Oxford Dictionary) To use inchoate as a verb in a sentence here’s an example. How he..Conceives and inchoates the argument.(Oxford English Dictionary) Doing some more research on the library website I went to find articles and more and I noticed there werent any articles on this word but there was a journal called Inchoative aspect in French.(Wilson Web) This word was hard to find 5 sources on because it wasn’t like it was a book. It was a word that the only thing I can really find use on the library website was the dictionary. And the dictionary gave me variety of definitions used for as a verb and a noun. And it also gave me many ways the word was used in a sentence. So my search was very limited to the things I needed to use to research my word. So the oxford dictionary and Wilson Web on the GSU website is the only thing I found useful and gave me a little bit of information for my word.
