tangential

Examples of tangential in the following topics:

• Scoping Your Speech

  • The evidence and supporting arguments should not only be related tangentially; there should be direct lines of relevance to every piece of information included in your speech.

• The Evaluating Stage

  • Having a clear understanding of a speaker's message allows a listener to evaluate that message without getting bogged down in ambiguities or spending unnecessary time and energy addressing points that may be tangential or otherwise nonessential.

• Sources of Information

  • Articles which deal in depth with specific studies, as a specialized article on science, are apt to be of more value than general articles which only tangentially deal with a topic.
