paradigmatic

• No longer the pre-paradigmatic archaeology of the pre-state period, this dispute consolidated, to borrow Thomas Kuhn's term, "normal science." —  The Chicago Blog
• Hashimoto points out, "The quantum Hall effect as a paradigmatic and nicely tunable example of quantum phase transitions provides a very adaptable access to simple results of complex descriptions." —  Signs of the Times
• The example of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who can entertain questions and probing ideas, but wishes to uphold the actual public teaching and discipline of the church, has become paradigmatic: it now assumed that such a balancing of views must indicate hyposcrisy, cowardice, or both. —  Anglican Mainstream
