"Analysis of social networks is suggested as a tool for linking micro and macro levels of sociological theory. The procedure is illustrated by elaboration of the macro implications of one aspect of small-scale interaction: the strength of dyadic ties. It is argued that the degree of overlap of two individuals' friendship networks varies directly with the strength of their tie to one another."

the problem is one of distribution and dilution. the 英語圏 authors of scientific papers no longer study how to write at any point in their education and are never bothered to read anything outside their field of study, meaning their understanding of "big words" is muddied and inconsistent, relying on dictionaries rather than intuitive understanding. add to that the influence of non-英語圏 researchers and their even more erratic use of english's latinates etc, and the environment becomes one where every paper sounds like a 10th-grade/secondary school essay and no one has the understanding needed for spontaneous nonces or coinages
but no one wants to be the first to stop either X_X
