Word for not near a coast - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

In American English, a city which is inland from the sea can be referred to simply as an inland city. The AHD definition—

adj. 1. Of, relating to, or located in the interior part of a country or region: inland freshwater lakes and ponds.

—is typical, but I would say that inland as used in AmE does not usually mean «toward the middle,» but rather «away from the coast,» and may be very relative depending on context. The Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood is inland from Pacific Palisades, but that isn’t much an impediment for getting to the beach, even in Los Angeles traffic.

I hesitate to speak for British English as I know inland is frequently a synonym for domestic (e.g. inland post, Inland Revenue), and geographic sensibilities as to direction and distance are very different, so too with Australia.

If you want to specify that a city is very deep inland, you could refer to it as an interior city—

adj. 1. Of, relating to, or located on the inside; inner.
3. Situated away from a coast or border; inland.

[AHD]. While

Interior more strongly indicates something close to the middle and far from the coasts; Sacramento or Albany or even Washington, D.C. are inland, but I would not expect them to be called interior cities, even if by a technical definition that would be true. Salt Lake City is an interior city, St. Louis is in the interior. In the U.S., this sense may be reinforced because the U.S. Department of the Interior is the division of the federal government which deals with federal lands, natural resources, and Native Americans—far away (or driven away) from the major cities, and again I cannot speak for elsewhere, where an interior ministry is something completely different that has no real U.S. equivalent.

Distance from the borders with Canada or Mexico is more nebulous a requirement; I wouldn’t refer to Detroit or El Paso as interior cities, but others might.

Another approach, as @Billy suggests, is to describe the city based on geographic terms that indicate distance from the sea. If I describe Lincoln, Nebraska as a Great Plains city, or Helena, Montana as nestled in the Rockies, or even that Louisville is in Kentucky, someone familiar with American geography will know that they cannot be situated anywhere near the ocean. This only works for a handful of regions, however.

The further danger is that there are cultural associations with certain geographic terminology that may not make sense, particularly with ill-defined terms like heartland or Middle America. Boulder, Colorado is in the middle of America, but it is not of Middle America; its stereotypical resident would not be labeled a Middle American, but its stereotypical resident would not mind that in the slightest.

As to the setting of a city in the countryside, I don’t understand your meaning. The very definition of city means that wherever the city is located is not rural. You will encounter farms and ranches and open space driving an hour outside Kansas City, Missouri, but you can also find farms and ranches and open space an hour outside San Diego or Philadelphia.

Hello,
The following is a passage from a local text book introducing the Galapagos islands.

«The Galapagos is a set of volcanic islands which are located nearly a thousand kilometers out in the ocean, off the coast of Ecuador. The islands possess one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. In fact, the various species in the Galapagos inspired Charles Darwin’s great book, The Origin of the Species.»

From this passage only, can a statement of «The Galapagos islands are near the coast of Ecuador.» be true, considering there is no comparison except the distance of a thousand kilometers?
Thank you in advance for your kind comment on this.

It’s all relative, dual light.

If you have to get there and have a supersonic airplane at your disposal, it is very close.

But if you have to row your boat, it is very far.

ewie

Hullo Dual. Well, I suppose someone might argue that the Galapagos are near the coast of Ecuador relative to their nearness to (for example) the coast of Greenland. But no, I don’t think anyone reasonable could reasonably say they were near the coast.

Thanks, SwissPete. Then, I understand your comment means that we cannot say that the statement is true, because of the relativity. Am I right?

Many thanks for your kind comment, ewie.

I agree with both Swiss Pete and Ewie, to some extent. But I think in cases like this we have to read the location as «a thousand kilometers out in the ocean, the closest land being Ecuador». So to that degree, «near» is not inappropriate, it just means «nearest».

I read it the same way.

«Off the coast of» says that the nearest (continental) coast to the Galapagos is that of the nation of Ecuador. That phrase was well chosen by the writer since, as Swiss Pete says (post #2), any «near» or «far» description is a matter of opinion.

Note that the OP is asking about his/her own proposed/hypothetical change and that «near» does not appear in the cited text.

As such, I don’t recommend the OP use «near,» since it’s no improvement on the original and quite subject to ridicule.

Thanks for your comment. The reason I posted this question is that the statement (that is, the paraphrased sentence) was from a local examination and I don’t think the statement is absolutely true.
From your explanation, I think the revised statement is not absolutely appropriate. Is my understanding correct?

It’s neither «absolutely» true nor false.

It’s neither «absolutely» true nor false.

Thanks, waltern. It seems it’s a dilemma. The answer in the exam is that it is true. Which shoud be chosen, true or false? :confused:

Perhaps the point of the question is not whether 1000km is «near» the coast or not, but whether the islands are near to Ecuador as opposed to some other country — I could imagine a test asking something like:

«The Galapagos Islands are located near the coast of which country?»

A — Australia
B — Ecuador
C — Madagascar

Thanks, waltern. It seems it’s a dilemma. The answer in the exam is that it is true. Which shoud be chosen, true or false?

This is unfortunately not the first example of a bad exam question Frequently such questions are set by examiners who have learnt a black and white example but are unaware of actual English usage — relative issues (like this one) and answers that require value judgements are common examples.

That’s what I thought. If the question is asking such comparison, it would have no problem.
But, to my regret, the actual question is whether the resived statement is true or false.

Thanks, JulianStuart. It seems to be OK that I conclude that it is a bad exam question.
