… a careful/ complete/ lucid/ minute/ profound account for P. ...offers
… adequate/ efficient/ flexible/ powerful/ reliable/ sufficient tools for Р/ elegant
arguments to the effect that P.
… an elaborate (conceptual) system of P.
… a solid grounding for studying P.
… indispensable prerequisites for assessing/ describing P.
… a correct/ precise characterization of P.
… a neat division/ determination of P.
In [NN], F …
… deals with the complex subject in an orderly manner.
… shows, very convincingly, that P.
… presents a wealth of data about Р.
… is right in distinguishing P from Q.
… has... the notions of P to correspond closely to Q.
… managed to answer the question with simplicity.
 It is here that F's major contribution to the field as a whole lies.
 One major advantage of [NN] is that (it makes room for the notion) P.

1.3.3. Criticism and objections

•  The product of F's labor invites close critical scrutiny / is still under discussion.
 The study done by F does not allow us to answer the question whether P.
 The solution offered by F has been criticized at length.
 F's hypothesis / investigation / opinion/ viewpoint / distinction / definition /
analysis / approach / position …
… leaves many questions open.
… generated controversy / waged debates / is a hot topic in debates.
… draws sharp criticism / neglects the relationship between P and Q.
… raises many questions / is unfortunate / erroneous / vague.
… is awkward in two ways / rests on two dubious claims.
 F's study / comparison/ formulation/ method fails to …
… verify this mechanism (to find a correlation between P and Q).
… to meet the condition/ is far from a solution.
 F's worries/ proposals/ ideas about P are unfounded/ should be rejected.
 The flaw in F's analysis is that he never specifies the criteria by which he
identifies P.
• – We will not undertake a criticism of all of these points here.
• – F's approach / strategy neglects (ignores) Р
– This requirement ... underestimates/ underscores/ underrates (the power of) Р/ is
redundant.
– This hypothesis ... capitalizes on the idea which is objectionable.
– This scheme ... gives researchers the illusion that P.
– This problem/ question ... keeps cropping up throughout [NN].
• – F's approach / strategy has a number of disadvantages (limitations).
– This model ... has a diminished relevance for understanding P.
• – F's strategy/ point ... is not accurately formulated.
– This characterization ... is speculative/ is a vague documentation of the topic.
– The pattern/ model ... is by no means consistent/ cannot be verified.
