The first view is about knowledge generally. But the second view is
only about scientific knowledge. The second view is _____ .What word (adjective) or adjectival phrase to put in the blank?
“Specific” doesn’t sound specific enough. (Pun intended)
And I don’t know if “Domain-specific” can be used in the above sentence.
Answer
One fairly common way to say this is more narrowly scoped (an adjectival phrase).
scope 1 noun …
- The extent of a given activity or subject that is involved, treated, or relevant: the scope of the debate … Synonyms … range
[AHD]
(the senses of the verb and participial adjective follow).
narrow: adjective …
- Limited in area or scope [AHD]
(again, the sense of the adjective-modifier [traditionally ‘adverb’] follows).
The phrase has become a reasonably strong collocation; examples from the internet are:
Narrowly scoped subset-analyses were performed additionally for
living-donor transplants, pediatric transplants, as well as cases with
prolonged cold ischemic time (CIT).[Comparable outcome of liver
transplantation …; Alexander Kaltenborn et
al]
