Phrase completion scales are a type of psychometrics psychometric scale used in questionnaire s. Developed in response to the problems associated with Likert scale s, Phrase completions are concise, unidimensional measures that tap ordinal level data in a manner that approximates interval level data. Overview of the phrase completion method Phrase completions consist of a phrase followed by an 11 point response key. The phrase introduces part of the concept. Marking a reply on the response key completes the concept. The response key represents the underlying theoretical continuum. Zero 0 indicates the absence of the construct. Ten 10 indicates the theorized maximum amount of the construct. Response keys are reversed on alternate items to mitigate response set bias. Sample question using the phrase completion method I am aware of the presence of God or the Divine Never Continually 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Scoring and analysis After the questionnaire is completed the score on each item is summed together, to create a test score for the respondent. Hence, Phrase Completions, like Likert scales, are often considered to be summative scales. Level of measurement The response categories represent an ordinal level of measurement . Ordinal level data, however, varies in terms of how closely it approximates interval level data. By using a numerical continuum as the response key instead of sentiments that reflect intensity of agreement, respondents may be able to quantify their responses in more equal units.

A transitional phrase , in United States patent law , is a phrase that links the preamble of a patent claim to the specific elements set forth in the claim which define what the invention itself actually is. The transitional phrase acts as a limitation on the claim, indicating whether a similar device, method, or composition patent infringement infringes the patent if it contains more or fewer elements than the claim in the patent. There are three kinds of transitional phrases open, closed, and hybrid. Closed Transition A closed transition usually uses the words consisting of . Use of this phrase limits the preamble to exactly what follows and nothing more. An example would be a patent claim for a pencil , which might say in the preamble a writing device , followed by the closed transition consisting of , and concluding with a description such as a cylindrical piece of lead, graphite, or another material similarly capable of leaving a mark when drawn against a surface, and a second surrounding material encasing the first . A third party who sold pencils including both a cylinder of writing material and a casing material, but added to his pencils an eraser fixed to one end, would therefore not be in violation of the patent. Use of such a transition makes it easy for a competitor to compete with the patented product without infringing it, because it allows the competitor to sell a similar device so long as the competitor makes an addition to what is claimed. However, it also may assist the patent owner in avoiding prior art , which might otherwise block the patent from issuing. Open Transition An open transition usually uses the word comprises or comprising . This is the broadest form of transition, as it does not limit the preamble to whatever elements are identified in the claim. If the above patent used the word comprising instead of consisting of , then the third party ... transition, uses the phrase consisting essentially of .

Image Chilon of Sparta.jpg right thumb Chilon of Sparta A laconic phrase is a very concise or terse statement, named after Laconia a.k.a. Lacedaemon Greek , a polis of ancient Greece and region of modern Greece surrounding the city of Sparta proper. In common usage, Sparta referred both to Lacedaemon and Sparta. Similarly, a laconism is a figure of speech in which someone uses very few words to express an idea, in keeping with the Spartan reputation for austerity. Uses A laconic phrase may be used for efficiency as in military jargon , for philosophical reasons especially among thinkers who believe in minimalism, such as Stoicism Stoics , or for better disarming a long, pompous speech the most famous example being at the Battle of Thermopylae . Spartans were expected to be men of few words, to hold rhetoric in disdain, and to stick to the point.
