COUN 8802 • Randall Astramovich, Ph.D. • Department of Counseling, Idaho State University Page 9 of 9 Sophisticated Academic Writing Directions: When composing academic papers, maintaining a powerful intellectual voice can lead to success. In other words, it pays to sound like you know what you are talking about.

Power Verbs for Writing Analyses alludes deduces establishes permeates analogizes depicts explores pervades argues describes expresses portrays asserts delineates foreshadows presents augments defines fosters proves bolsters demonstrates illuminates qualifies clarifies depicts illustrates reveals compares develops implements solidifies conveys elucidates initiates specifies connotes embodies introduces tackles contrasts emphasizes juxtaposes transcends creates enhances paints transforms Avoiding Weak Words and Expressions You may not be able to eliminate them all, but if you can use more formal words and expressions in their place, your paper will sound much better.

Weak Verbs am, is, are, be, was, were, has been, had been, have been, being, has, had, gets, shows, have, makes, seems, appears, uses, and utilizes (which means the same thing as uses).

Other Weak Words lots, a lot, well, fine, so, fun, great, very, said, get, got, very, nice, your, you, good, just, like; Other examples of WEAK phrases:

• forms of the verb, "to be" unless as helping verbs or when using passive verbs effectively • "This means..." • "feel" (as a substitute for "think" or "believe") • "kind of," "sort of' • "makes" "This makes Barreto mad." • "for some reason" • "personally" In most formal academic writing situations, you avoid personalizing your paper.

• "I think..." "I feel..." "I believe..." (Simply state your opinion as fact and support it.) • "it seems to me" • "you" Don't talk to me.

• "get" "Barreto gets mad." Try to avoid these too!

Very Seems Anything Great Perhaps Everything Nice We Nothing Sweet Even Something Maybe Thing Fabulous This shows Little Weird That shows To some extent Really Somewhat Extremely • a lot or allot (meaning a lot, not in the act of allotting) • "it is interesting that..." • "it is interesting to note..." • "this is profound because..." • "pretty" pretty good, pretty well: "Barreto is pretty awesome." • "...there for me" (usually in reference to mothers/friends) • "and then" "but then" (double-eliminate conjunction) • "just, even," and "ever again" ("he was just sure..." "he is not even..." "no one could ever again..." • "In conclusion..." • "In Bierce's short story..." • "being" ("being that..." "being as..." "his being a giant is...") • "really" (as opposed to fakely?), really tough • "I got finished." vs. "I finished."("got" is not a helping verb.) • "done" for "finished" ("I got done" is doubly awful.) • Redundancies (2 or more sentences with the same ideas unless for rhetorical effect) • This is...he/she is...that is...there is...there are...it is...it was...Simply begin with the noun that follows or better yet, create an appositive: Barreto, the handsome man standing over there, is amazing. Instead of: Barreto is amazing. He is the handsome man standing over there.
