peculiar -strange or odd; unusual.
deductive - a logical approach where you progress from general ideas to specific
conclusions.
impersonal - not influenced by, showing, or involving personal feelings.
textbooks - a book used as a standard work for the study of a particular subject.
scholarly journals - publish articles—usually articles about research—written by experts
(scholars) in the field of study.
peer view - evaluation of scientific, academic, or professional work by others working in

76. context - the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and
in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.
socio-cultural context - the idea that language, rather than existing in isolation, is
closely linked to the culture and society in which it is used. This means when language

consideration as well.
pedagogical - relating to teaching.
principles - a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a
system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

abstract annotation - While an abstract provides a brief summary of a resource, an
annotation is designed to provide that summary as well as evaluate the quality and

researching the Tiny House Movement, you might use this article as one of your
sources.
