appeal (nom)
Sens 1 : a request for people to do something or to
behave in a particular way. [source : MAC]
Contextes :
- But in 1864, on receipt of Cameron's appeal for help, the Government
continued to show reluctance to write a reply to Tewodros.
- Embedding interaction semantics within components has its appeal for
component-based software engineering, where components are the central units
for assembly and deployment.
- I should also point out that while arguing that the appeal of
'national community' propaganda was a potent mobilizing agent (especially
before 1933), I am not suggesting that the Third Reich brought about a
social revolution.
Contextes :
- To resist the notion that function-accounts have value even where
selection is only strongly suspected, I will appeal to a lovely example
derived from Richard Lewontin (1998).
- The Grey Nuns benefited from the knowledge and experience of several
clergymen by utilizing their services when they appealed to Rome for
intervention.
- Unlike the common response to adaptationism which appeals to
idiosyncratic solutions to problems (see below), there is no refuge for the
adaptationist in the face of novel selective problems.
