For archaeology, incised is an adjective that refers to the superficial incisions on a piece.
The concept of incisus comes from the Latin word incīsus . It can be used as an adjective to refer to a style with interruptions or cuts , as indicated by the first meaning mentioned by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary.
Also as an adjective , incised is used in archeology to describe the piece decorated with superficial incisions . For example , “The vessel found presents incised motifs,” “The incised decoration of the ceramics found at the foot of the mountain surprised the researchers.”
The idea of subsection in grammar
Subsection is also used as a noun in the field of grammar . A subsection, in this framework, is an expression that, interspersed with another, offers an explanation of some point linked to it.
Explanatory paragraphs , therefore, interrupt a sentence to delve into something. They are written between commas, parentheses or dashes and, since they do not modify the meaning of the original expression, they can be eliminated without affecting understanding.
“Jorge Gómez, neighborhood greengrocer, won the raffle” is a sentence that presents an explanatory subsection ( “neighborhood greengrocer” ). If this clarification is deleted, the phrase continues to have the same meaning ( "Jorge Gómez won the draw" ).
The subsections are subdivisions of the articles of the laws.
A specification that cannot be ignored
There are even specific or determinative clauses, which are not enclosed with commas , parentheses or lines and are necessary to give the meaning. The sentence “Young people who complete their studies get good jobs” has a specific subsection: “who complete their studies.”
It is important to highlight that in the case of the specific paragraphs, the meaning of the sentence is affected if we remove this additional information , since its function is different from that fulfilled by the explanatory paragraph. While the latter "explains" us who the subject is, it provides us with certain data to recognize it in case we do not know exactly who it is (it can also be a material object or an abstract noun), the specific subsection helps us separate it from a group since it is not mentioned by its proper name and, in fact, it is usually plural.
Having said all this, let's look at a sentence in which the type of clause could completely change the meaning: it is not the same to say "The boy who was worried about the exam got a satisfactory grade" than "The boy, who was worried about the exam , obtained a satisfactory grade . The first sentence uses an explanatory paragraph to clarify which boy it is, probably because in the context of the message there are several and we would not be able to know who it is if they do not provide us with this information : we are not talking about just any boy, but rather the one who was worried. for the exam.
In the second sentence, on the other hand, it is assumed that the context is enough to know which boy the speaker is talking about; For this reason, the role of the subsection is simply to give us more information about him, but this is not necessary to understand the main meaning of the sentence: the important thing is that he obtained a satisfactory grade, regardless of his state of mind regarding to the exam.
Incident in rhetoric
In rhetoric there is a figure called ellipsis that can be similar or complementary to the subsection, since it is the omission of certain words from a clause that are necessary for understanding the message, but which is carried out because the interlocutor is expected to do so. understand by context.
Let's look at an example sentence: "She will arrive around twelve and I will arrive a little later" ; The verb "I will arrive" is omitted here because it is understood and it would be redundant to write it twice.
The concept in law
In the field of law , finally, the subsections are subdivisions of the articles of the laws.
Each subsection, in this framework, is a part that details a certain provision.
