further, furthermore, however, indeed, though, while. This is the general sense in which the term "collocation" is used in the studies we discuss in the literature review section below. , there is no agreement on how precisely to delimit the category, especially on how to draw the boundary between combinations which are still "free" and those which are already "restricted". , it is the notion of "restrictedness" that proves most difficult to

apply in practice as a criterion, attempts have been made in this direction (see...). It is noticeable that some words, such as "very", have a wide collocational range, i.e. they can co-occur with many others ("very beautiful", "very true", "very weak"), others are restricted to a certain group of collocates, for example , "torrential" usually occurs with "rain" and with a small group of related words, such as "storm". , this distinction proves problematic when one tries to count the specific number of collocates, or to set a cut-off point at which the combination becomes "restricted". The situation is complicated even by the fact that it is unclear to what extent the restricted collocability of some words is the result of their semantic properties.

as, especially, however, it, they, this (*2), thus, which (*3). Water vapor, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are relatively inefficient absorbers of solar radiation. , absorb the long-wave radiation both back to the surface, producing maintains the balance with incoming

emitted from the surface and reradiate an additional warming, and to space,

solar radiation. means that, as a result, the current global mean surface temperature is substantially warmer than the effective radiating temperature (Te). increase in surface temperature above Te is known as the "greenhouse effect". The term greenhouse is applied to atmospheric gases are relatively

transparent to solar radiation but absorb long-wave radiation, in a manner similar to glass in greenhouse. However, other processes contribute to the warming of a greenhouse, the containment of air which is warmer than the environment and which would otherwise rise and be replaced by air at environmental temperatures. , the term "greenhouse" is misleading, the atmospheric greenhouse effect is solely due to radiative processes.
