making sound louder with equipment

making sound louder using equipment

نمط الاستخدام: amplification of [sound/voice/instrument]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use amplification when they mean volume; amplification is the process or effect, not the volume setting itself.
المرادفات
boosting (More informal and general; amplification often implies equipment.) | sound reinforcement (Common in live events; more technical and event-focused.)
الأضداد
attenuation (Reducing sound level or strength rather than increasing it.) | muting (Silencing or greatly reducing sound.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
sound amplification |audio amplification |voice amplification |amplification system |need amplification |provide amplification |electronic amplification |stage amplification |portable amplification |amplification equipment
الموضوعات
music |technology |media
أمثلة
  • The hall is small, so the singer doesn’t need amplification.
  • Poor amplification made the speaker’s voice harsh and distorted.
  • They installed amplification so everyone in the back could hear clearly.
أمثلة للمتعلّمين

making something stronger or greater

making something stronger or bigger

نمط الاستخدام: amplification of [effect/problem/fear/impact]
خطأ شائع:
Amplification is typically used for increases in impact or intensity; for simple size increases, increase or growth is often more natural.
المرادفات
intensification (Focuses on becoming more intense rather than broader in reach.) | escalation (Often implies a step-by-step worsening, especially in conflict.)
الأضداد
reduction (A decrease in amount or intensity.) | de-escalation (A calming or lowering of conflict or tension.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
amplification of fears |amplification of conflict |amplification of inequality |amplification of risk |amplification of impact |amplification of tension |amplification of effects |amplification of errors |amplification of pressure |amplification of problems
الموضوعات
communication |society |business
أمثلة
  • Social media can lead to the amplification of rumors.
  • The policy change caused an amplification of existing inequalities.
  • Small mistakes in the data led to an amplification of the final error.
أمثلة للمتعلّمين

3

adding detail or further explanation

extra details that explain something more

نمط الاستخدام: provide amplification (on) [a point/statement]
خطأ شائع:
In this sense, amplification is closer to clarification or elaboration; it does not mean making something louder.
المرادفات
elaboration (More common and slightly less formal.) | clarification (Emphasizes making meaning clearer, not just adding detail.)
الأضداد
brevity (Keeping something short with few details.) | omission (Leaving information out rather than expanding it.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
further amplification |request amplification |provide amplification |amplification of a point |amplification of details |amplification of remarks |brief amplification |additional amplification |amplification and clarification |amplification of an argument

أمثلة

strengthening an electrical signal

making a signal stronger

نمط الاستخدام: amplification of [a signal/frequency]
المرادفات
gain (The standard technical term for the amount of amplification.) | signal boosting (More general; less precise than amplification in electronics.)
الأضداد
signal attenuation (Weakening a signal rather than strengthening it.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
signal amplification |power amplification |voltage amplification |amplification circuit |amplification stage |high-gain amplification |low-noise amplification |amplification factor |amplification ratio |wideband amplification
الموضوعات

5

copying DNA to make more

making many copies of DNA

نمط الاستخدام: amplification of [DNA/a gene/a sequence]
المرادفات
DNA replication (A broader biological process; amplification often refers to targeted copying, especially in lab contexts.)
الأضداد
deletion (Loss of genetic material rather than increase in copies.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
DNA amplification |gene amplification |PCR amplification |target amplification |sequence amplification |amplification product |amplification step |amplification efficiency |amplification curve |amplification assay
الموضوعات
science |health
أمثلة

6

repeating to add emphasis

a writing or speaking method that adds emphasis

نمط الاستخدام: use amplification (in) [a speech/an argument]
المرادفات
emphasis (More general; not specifically the technique of expanding or repeating.)
الأضداد
understatement (Deliberately making something seem less important.)
