Grammar
Particular and Particulary
Hello,
I am from Austria and a have a little problem about the difference between in particular and particularly?
(1) Also, interest in sustainability, sustainable consumption and sustainable production has increased at all levels of the agriculture and in the food industry particularly.
(2) Also, interest in sustainability, sustainable consumption and sustainable production has increased at all levels of the agriculture and particular in the food industry.
Can anyone for me figure out the difference between this two sentences? Its very hard for me to understand because i was never abroad in an english-speaken country.
Thank you very much

I can't think of much difference in meaning between 'in particular' and 'particularly', but they have a different position and sound which can affect which one is chosen. 1 the cat, mouse and in particular the dog 2 the cat, mouse and particularly the dog 3 the cat, mouse and the dog particularly 4 the cat, mouse and the dog in particular 1/2 - In 1 when 'in particular' is emphasised, it gives a focus to the dog which separates it from the cat & mouse more than 2 does. 3/4 - Putting the word after (rather than before) creates an ambiguity with whether particular(ly) refers just to the dog or all 3, but context will tell you.

- When suitably connected to a verb, 'particularly' has an emphasis on the verb (hence the -ly ending): the cat, mouse and the dog particularly like to sit in front of the fire --- ie all 3 particularly like whereas, for the cat, mouse and the dog in particular like to sit in front of the fire the 'in particular' simply distinguishes the dog (poss also cat & mouse if the context gives other things also) from other animals without tying in with the verb, since it is not an -ly word.
- also note in your sentence : the agriculture and the food industr ies .
