Li:  Hi I am Yang Li. Welcome to Question and Answer of the Week from BBC Learning English.    

Neil:   I'm Neil. Today's question is addressed to you personally, Li. Let me read it out: 

Question 

Hello, Li. I'm Yao Liangliang. I have a question on the word 'particularly'; does it have another meaning in speaking English? I don't know when and how to use it. 

And when it comes to 'in particular', do they have the same meaning? Thanks for your answers. Cheers, Yao. 

Neil:      Well, you'd better start the ball rolling.  

Li:  OK, very briefly in Chinese, 第一，particularly 是副词，用来修饰形容词或副词，表示特别地。第二，in particular 是一个副词短语，表示特别地，但是它在一个句子中的位置需要注意。接下来 Neil 和我一起详细举例解释 particularly 和 in particular 的具体用法： 

Li:   Now over to you Neil, what do you have to say about the word 'particularly'? 

Neil:  First of all, it comes from the adjective particular, meaning specific or special. For example: Is there a particular type of food you like?  

Li:   In this case it means 'specific'. 

Neil:    Correct. What would your answer be?  

Li:   I particularly like Italian food. 

Neil:  Mmm, me too. OK. Here is another example: Chinese learners of English must pay particular attention to intonation. 

Li:   I quite agree. 中国人学英语要特别注意语调。Here the word particular means special 特别的。As a matter of fact, I've always been particularly interested in English intonation; however, I think I still have a long way to go. So you are right Neil. By the way, would you agree if I say you are particular about shoes? You always wear smart shoes. 

Neil:    Thank you. Yes, I really like shoes but smart shoes in particular.  

Li:   Well done Neil. You have just demonstrated one way of using the phrase 'in particular'. Could you give a few more examples so that Yao Liangliang will have a clearer idea when it comes to using this phrase? 

Neil:   No problem. Here are some more examples: She directed the question at no one in particular. 

Li:     她提出的问题不是针对任何人的。 

Neil：   My dad likes music; jazz in particular. 

Li:    我父亲喜欢音乐，特别是爵士乐。 

Here are two more examples, but we'll do it from Chinese to English: 晚饭你有什么特别想吃的东西么？ 

Inserts 

A:   Is there anything in particular you'd like for dinner?   

Li:    回答：我喜欢你上周做的烤鸡，能不能再做一次？ 

B:    I loved the roast chicken you did last week, can you cook that again? 

A:   Is there anything in particular you'd like for dinner?   

B:  I loved the roast chicken you did last week, can you cook that again? 

Li:  第二句：你在这儿呆了好几个小时了，你在做什么？ 

A:   You've been here for hours, what have you been doing?  

Li：  回答：没做什么特别的，只不过是想把这本书看完。 

B:  Nothing in particular, just trying to finish the book I am reading. 

A:   You've been here for hours, what have you been doing?  

B:  Nothing in particular, just trying to finish the book I am reading. 

Neil:   Now Li, let's do a little test. I will repeat the examples and see if you can use the adverb 'particularly' instead of 'in particular'. 

Li:     Oh you are such a good teacher, particularly with English grammar.  

Neil:    No 1. She likes smart shoes in particular. 

Li:    Hmm… Let me see… She particularly likes smart shoes. 

Neil:    Very good! No 2. My dad likes music in general, jazz in particular. 

Li:    Easy! My dad loves music but he particularly likes jazz. 

Neil:    Perfect! Is there anything in particular you'd like for dinner? 

Li:    Is there anything you'd particularly like for dinner? 

Neil:    Great Li, you’ve got this perfectly. 

Li:  Thanks Neil. I have learned quite a lot from you today and hope of all the Q and A programmes Yao Liangliang likes this one in particular. 

Neil:   Thanks for listening. 

Li:      Bye. 

Neil:    Goodbye.
