Phrasal Verbs in
Academic English
One-word synonyms · Research vocabulary · Formality levels — Elevate your academic writing
📚 A. Phrasal verbs and one-word synonyms
Although phrasal verbs occur most frequently in more informal spoken and written English, they are also not uncommon in an academic context. You will hear them used in lectures and will read them in serious journals. However, note that go/look back over and work out are not appropriate for a formal written assignment.
Phrasal verbs often have one-word synonyms. These are usually of Latin origin and sound more formal than their phrasal verb equivalent, but both are appropriate when writing or talking about academic subjects. Vary your language by using both.
| Phrasal Verb | Formal Synonym | Example in Academic Context |
|---|---|---|
| put forward (an idea/view/opinion/theory/plan) | present | In her latest article Kaufmann puts forward a theory which is likely to prove controversial. |
| carry out (an experiment/research) | conduct | I intend to carry out a series of experiments. |
| make up | constitute | Children under the age of 15 make up nearly half of the country's population. |
| be made up of | consist of | Parliament is made up of two houses. |
| point out | observe | Grenne points out that the increase in life expectancy has led to some economic problems. |
| point up | highlight | The study points up the weaknesses in the current school system. |
| set out (to do something) | aim | In his article Losanov sets out to prove that... |
| set out | describe | The document sets out the terms of the treaty. |
| go into | discuss | In this book Sergeant goes into the causes of the Civil War in some depth. |
| go/look back over | revise, review* | Please go/look back over this term's notes. |
| go through | check | Go through your calculations carefully. |
*Note: Revise is the BrE synonym and review the AmE synonym. (Revise in AmE only means to edit or change something to make it better; review is not used in BrE in the context of preparing for a test as focused on here.)
🔬 B. Carrying out research
After completing her first degree in zoology Meena went on to1 graduate school. She wanted to work on2 animal behaviour at a well-known institute in New Zealand. She set up3 a series of experiments investigating how bees communicate. She has noticed some curious behaviour patterns but has not yet worked out4 why her bees behave as they do. What she has observed seems to go against5 current theories of bee behaviour. When she has completed all her research she will have to write it all up6.
- 1 went on to: do something after doing something else
- 2 work on: study, work in the field of
- 3 set up: prepared, arranged
- 4 worked out: come to a conclusion about
- 5 go against: not be in agreement with
- 6 write it all up: (of an important document) write in a final form
💡 TIP: Hãy tham khảo một từ điển hay khi bạn dùng các cụm động từ trong bài viết. Ví dụ, một quyển từ điển hay cho biết khi nào bạn có thể dùng túc từ trước tiểu từ (ví dụ: write your results up) và khi nào nó không thể (ví dụ: goes against current theories).
