English Language & Usage Asked on April 10, 2021
I want to say that
This chapter is based partially on [a paper I coauthored]
but "partially" doesn’t feel right because the overlap is maybe 60%.
But
This chapter is based largely on [a paper I coauthored]
seems to suggest more overlap than actually occurs.
I feel a need for a word conveying
substantive overlap, but neither partially nor largely.
"Substantively" doesn’t sound right to me.
How about,
Much of this chapter is based on [a paper I coauthored].
