| Oct 7, 2019 at 8:06 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @fredsbend Yes, I think the Kukhtarev model (without the ‘s) would be just as acceptable, if not preferred. I think the difference with Keynsian economics is probably that economics is uncountable (perhaps compare with Pythagorean trigonometry). | |
| Oct 7, 2019 at 4:36 | comment | added | user39425 | I would accept the Kukhtarev model, personally. I don't know what that's called, when the name of someone's idea takes the form [inventor's name + generic noun], but seems common, and evolving from [possessive name form + noun] to ["the" + name + noun] seems only a matter of preference. Consider "the pythagorean theorem". An oddball would be Keynesian economics (said without "the"), since "economics" feels like a plural. | |
| Oct 6, 2019 at 21:34 | comment | added | Fattie | Just as on (say) SO, attributions are not relevant on "explain" questions on this site. (If I explain how to do scrolling dynamic layouts or something on SO, there's no "attribution".) | |
| Oct 6, 2019 at 21:32 | comment | added | Fattie | Fantastic answer, thank you so much @Araucaria ! Spectacular answer | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 15:28 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | An attribution needn't be to the original source; a recognised authority will doubtless link to previous proponents. | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 15:09 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @EdwinAshworth This is all common knowledge and quite uncontentious, unless you're a generative linguist. I teach it to language students (not in this way, of course) every day. I wouldn't know who to attribute it to! – | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 14:43 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @CJDennis Thanks! Wasn't sure if that would be too busy, but I agree it makes it much clearer | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 14:41 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | @CJ Dennis Linked attributions would be an improvement. | |

| Oct 5, 2019 at 13:33 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | Excellent answer! The only improvement I see would be "[[the] Smith's] car", showing that "[the]" is the determiner in the possessive noun phrase "[the Smiths']", which is itself a determiner. | |
| Oct 5, 2019 at 0:17 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @EdwinAshworth Hopefully a lot of both the 2 CGEL flavours (with a bit of Aarts thrown in!) | |
| Oct 4, 2019 at 22:17 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @Mari-LouA Good point. They seem quite proficient to me. But, if not, I think they'll get the gist either from the tldr or the body of the post. If not and they look it up, hopefully, they'll learn a colourful idiom. | |
| Oct 4, 2019 at 18:54 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Would the OP understand the idiom "stick to their guns"? | |
| Oct 4, 2019 at 16:18 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I'll not downvote this for lack of signs of research / attribution – there's obviously far more work been put into this answer – but there's a lot of the CGEL flavour here. | |
