Hello everybody, I'm translating an article about economics and I keep finding the expression "relationship-specific investments" but I can't understand the meaning. For example I found the phrase "Ownership encourages parties to make more relationship-specific investments", oppure "control...
Specific or specifical? Cynic or cynical? Clinic or clinical? Medic or medical? Juridic or juridical? etc. Specifical is not used. Cynic is a noun, while cynical is its adjectival form. Same thing with clinic and clinical, medic and medical. Juridical and juridic are both adjectives and have the same meaning, but the latter is rarely used.
Hi guys, do you think that an article should be used before the title "Professor" when introducing her in writing? Would you say "she is a Professor of Physics" or "She is Professor of Physics"? And last question, when to use articles before specific posts such as "editor-in-chief" and "editor"...
Sometimes, what's "specific" simply refers to the specific "picture" of "something" that we have in our minds. In other words, we all know what a "rainbow" looks like, and that makes "rainbow" specific enough for the use of the definite article.

I was taught that "on the evening" is used when we are talking about a specific date, as in your example. In the evening is used in a more general sense, without a specific indication of date.
as at is quite common in this context to mean at a specific time/date. "As of" to me means since. "As of" only rarely means "since" in AE, and it still sounds awkward and confusing to me, so I personally avoid this usage. Example: The washing machine was fixed as of last week. The meaning of this sentence is unclear.
So The Germans are good musicians can also be specific, e.g. when comparing orchestras from different countries. A zero article can also be specific, e.g. Tigers are found in the forest here. The German is a good musician hardly seems generic. The singular (German) sounds a rather old-fashioned way of speaking when talking about nationalities.
But let me try with some sentences about a specific holiday. At Easter, I shop for fancy clothes, decorate the house with flowers, and prepare dyed eggs for the children to find. (Around the time of Easter) On Easter, I go to church in the morning and eat a large dinner in the afternoon. (on Easter Sunday) Thank you so much for your help.
"Arrange time" = provide a period of time (for example 1 hour or 2 hours) "arrange a time" = schedule a specific time (for example 1 pm to 3 pm on Tuesday)
Getting a degree requires some specific total number of courses, but many are electives. So the terms "elective" and "optional" are not attributes of a course. They only apply when comparing a course with a degree program. Some of the terminology (course, class, subject, module) is different between BE and AE.
